The 1893-CC Morgan dollar is one of the most famous and scarcest of all regular-issue Morgan dollars. Adding to its allure is that it is the last of the CC-mint Morgan dollars, hailing from the legendary Carson City Mint. Yet, there are just enough survivors for this piece that it remains obtainable, and there are plenty of specimens on the market at any given time. <BR><BR> The coin is relatively common through MS62, much scarcer in MS63, extremely scarce in MS64, and exceedingly rare in MS65 or higher grades. PLs are extraordinarily tough in any grade, with a handful known in the MS65 range. DMPLs are downright rare, with none known in the Gem level. Beware, many counterfeit 1893-CC Morgan dollars are on the market masquerading as the real deal. Buy certified when possible, unless confident in the ability to decipher authentic raw pieces from counterfeits.
