1893-CC Morgan Dollar ($1)

The 1893-CC Morgan Dollar is a storied piece from the fabled Carson City Mint, known for low mintages and high desirability. With a production of only 677,000, it ranks among the scarcer Morgan Dollars, capturing the allure of the Old West just before the mint's closure that same year.

This example, graded XF40 by NGC and bearing a well-deserved CAC sticker, retains solid detail and offers a compelling look for its grade. XF40s can be tough, as many were polished or otherwise altered to "clean up" these choice coins. The surfaces of this example exhibit honest wear, yet the coin's original character and skin shine through. The light patina is pleasing, with devices standing out nicely against the smooth fields. A well-preserved and desirable piece for any Morgan enthusiast.
