1891-CC $1

Coin / United States of America / 1891 / Carson City / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

The 1891-CC Morgan dollar is one of the more widely available Carson City Morgan dollars in terms of overall availability, and it is plentiful in the lower MS grades. However, due to hit-or-miss strike quality issues Gems are difficult, with substantially smaller numbers of MS65s than MS64s, and in MS66 or higher this coin is quite rare. PLs and DMPLs, while available, are very scarce and they are rare in the MS65 levels or higher.
