1892-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS).Charming frosty surfaces are fully lustrous with a sharply executed strike. Otherwise brilliant, we note blushes of reddish-gold iridescence here and there around the peripheries. The surfaces are exceptionally smooth, expertly preserved and sure to catch the eye of astute bidders.<p>Despite a relatively generous mintage of 1,352,000 pieces, the 1892-CC is one of the more challenging Carson City Mint Morgan dollars to locate in the finer Uncirculated grades. Quantities were paid out from the San Francisco Mint during the 1920s and, especially, the 1940s and 1950s. Smaller quantities also came out of hiding in the Treasury Department Building during the same era. When it came to the great silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964, however, few examples of the 1892-CC were still on hand. When the federal government stopped paying out silver dollars in March 1964, its inventory of remaining coins included just one 1892-CC! This is an uncommonly well preserved, premium quality Gem that ranks among the finest certified for the issue.PCGS Population: 29; 8 finer in this category (MS-67+ finest).
