1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar
This is a United States Morgan Silver Dollar, dated 1890, featuring the iconic profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse. Struck at the Carson City Mint (as indicated by the provided context and date), it is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a standard diameter of 38.1mm. The design by George T. Morgan showcases Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, inscribed with 'LIBERTY'. The reverse, though not fully visible, would feature a heraldic eagle. This specific specimen exhibits significant circulation wear, particularly evident in the smoothing of Liberty's hair above the ear and the flatness of the cotton blossoms. There are numerous small contact marks and scratches across the face and field, consistent with an 'About Good' to 'Fine' grading. The coin shows a dark, natural patina or 'toning' in the recessed areas around the lettering and stars, providing a high-contrast look against the lighter, worn high points. The rim appears mostly intact with clear denticles. The 'CC' mint mark from Carson City adds a significant premium to this coin due to lower mintage numbers and high collector demand for this specific branch mint.
