The 1890 CC GSA Uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollar holds a special place in the hearts of collectors and numismatists. Struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, this coin is distinguished by the esteemed "CC" mintmark, signifying its origin at a facility known for its limited production of Morgan Dollars. Comprising 90% silver and 10% copper, the coin boasts the timeless Morgan design, featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse. Its historical significance is further accentuated by its connection to the General Services Administration (GSA) sales of the 1970s, during which a cache of uncirculated Carson City Morgan Dollars, including the 1890 CC, was rediscovered and made available to collectors. Despite its relatively high mintage of 2,309,041, the 1890 CC remains quite rare within the Carson City Morgan Dollar series, as many coins from that era entered circulation and were subsequently lost or melted down over time. This rarity, coupled with its enduring popularity, historical importance, and connection to the GSA hoard, makes it a cherished addition to any numismatic collection.
