The 1891-CC Morgan Silver Dollar stands out as one of the final issues from the legendary Carson City Mint. PCGS has graded 6,446 in MS63 with 5,312 finer.
With a mintage of just 1.6 million pieces—modest by Morgan standards—and heavy circulation in the Old West, surviving examples in higher Mint State grades are relatively scarce.
What sets many 1891-CC dollars apart is their frequently bold, frosty luster paired with the distinctive sharp strike that Carson City dies often delivered. The PCGS MS-63 grade captures coins that retain strong eye appeal yet show light contact marks, typical of coins stored in Mint bags for decades.
Collectors quietly favor this date for its clean design execution and the unmistakable “CC” mintmark that signals frontier origins. In MS-63, it offers a balanced blend of originality, Western history, and desirability without the higher prices of the rarest Carson City issues.
