Historical Significance
The Morgan Silver Dollar series, minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, stands as an emblem of the American "Wild West" era and the nation's rich silver mining heritage. The 1890-CC issue holds particular distinction due to its origin at the Carson City Mint (denoted by the "CC" mint mark). Coins from this facility are highly sought after, reflecting their production during a period of significant westward expansion and typically lower mintage figures compared to other mints.
Each "CC" coin carries a story of the Comstock Lode and the era when silver was king, making this 1890-CC Silver Dollar more than just currency; it's a tangible link to a bygone epoch.
