The Rare Carson City Morgans of 1891
The 1891 Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar continues the legacy of rarity and historical significance set by its predecessors. With the Carson City Mint operating from 1878 to 1893, the Morgan Dollars from this mint are among the most iconic and sought-after by collectors. The 1891-CC edition, struck towards the end of the mint's operation, is particularly rare, with less than 2.5% of its mintage known to exist in any condition today.
Current certifications by NGC and PCGS reveal that only 37,334 of the 1891-CC Morgan Dollars are known, amounting to just 2.3% of the entire mintage. This scarcity is highlighted when compared to more common Carson City Mint issues, making the 1891-CC a highly coveted piece for collectors.
We are thrilled to offer these 1891 Carson City Morgan Dollars, recently uncovered in a small hoard, in stunning circulated condition. Each coin is secured in our new Defender Holder, available at significant savings over competitor prices. This is a rare opportunity to add a treasured piece of the Comstock Lode's legacy to your collection.
