1890-CC GSA Morgan Dollar (BOX & COA)

The 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar is a tough-to-find treasure from the tail end of the Carson City Mint's legendary run. Unlike earlier years more commonly found in the GSA Hoard, the 1890-CC was released into circulation soon after mintage, making surviving Brilliant Uncirculated examples in original GSA packaging incredibly scarce. Each coin comes sealed in its original U.S. Treasury GSA holder, complete with the government-issued box and Certificate of Authenticity—making this a rare combination of condition, pedigree, and Old West history.

Historical Insight:

While over 2 million 1890-CC Morgan Dollars were struck, most entered circulation or were melted long before the GSA Hoard was assembled. As a result, GSA-certified 1890-CC Morgans are among the rarest in the entire hoard and command strong interest from advanced collectors. This coin represents the gritty legacy of the Carson City Mint's later years, still capturing the essence of a nation expanding westward. With its low survival rate in original government packaging, the 1890-CC GSA Morgan is a true rarity and a keystone piece for any serious Morgan Dollar set.
