1892-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS).
Beautifully toned around the peripheries, both sides of this silver dollar are framed in halos of iridescent reddish-apricot, the lower right reverse with intermingled lilac-blue. The centers are brilliant, and the luster is frosty and intense throughout. Razor sharp striking detail and smooth surfaces add to the appeal of this lovely Gem. Despite a 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 of 1892-CC silver dollars 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 in that same era. During 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 a very well preserved, premium quality example that ranks among the finest certified for the issue.
