1892-CC Morgan Dollar
Guidelines for Collecting:
The 1892-CC has been in great demand over the years. Hundreds of thousands were circulated in the late 19th century. A relatively small number of coins were stored by the Treasury and dispersed in later decades. Most dollars are well struck and attractive, usually very lustrous.
Availability in Circulated Grades:
Available in EF and AU, and frequently seen in far lesser grades. Look for an AU with few marks for optimum value in a circulated coin.
Availability in Mint State Grades:
Many long-stored bags of this date were paid out by the Treasury as far back as 1927 and again in the 1940s and 1950s. By the time of the GSA sales in the early 1970s, there was but a solitary example of the date on hand. MS-63 and 64 are grades that can be found without much difficulty, and higher grades are available for those who pursue gem quality. Avoid weakly struck pieces with average luster for those represent a minority of available specimens—go for the gold instead!
Availability in Proof:
None produced.
The example to the left was sold by Stack's Bowers Galleries in the Spring 2023 Showcase Auction, where it realized $20,400.
