Carson City Mint • Key Date in the Morgan Series

A well‑circulated example of the popular 1891‑CC Morgan Dollar, showing the honest wear expected of a coin that saw extensive Western‑frontier circulation. Liberty’s portrait is fully outlined with major features visible but softened, consistent with the G4–VG8 grade range. The rims remain complete, though merging slightly into the fields in areas typical for the grade. The reverse displays a clear eagle silhouette with worn feather detail and smooth high points. Surfaces are original, with no signs of cleaning, tooling, or damage — an important factor for collectors seeking problem‑free lower‑grade CC material.


Obverse: Liberty’s profile fully outlined; hair detail worn flat; stars and lettering readable with varying softness.

Reverse: Eagle’s wings and breast worn nearly smooth; wreath visible but lacking interior detail; legends fully readable.

Rims: Complete but softly defined, consistent with G/VG circulation.

Surfaces: Even, natural wear with no impairments; attractive for the grade.

Strike: Typical Carson City softness, not considered a defect.

Market Position:
The 1891‑CC remains one of the most desirable circulated CC dollars due to its lower survival rate and strong collector demand across all grades. G4–VG8 examples continue to perform well in the market, offering an affordable entry point into the CC series while retaining strong historical appeal.
