History of the 1892-CC Morgan Silver Dollar

The 1892-CC Morgan Silver Dollar wasn’t a rare date in its earlier years. Many went into circulation around the time of striking, and were relatively easy to find. Currently, the 1892-CC Morgan Dollar is much more elusive. Uncirculated coins are much harder to find, especially in higher grades, and they typically have a solid strike with beautiful frosty luster. These coins are still possible to find, and the lower Mint State grades are often heavily bagmarked, but still a good strike beyond a few that had a weaker strike at the center.
