Nevada casinos pushed silver dollars across their tables for decades, and this 1890-CC Morgan Dollar carries an NGC Nevada Casino Hoard pedigree from exactly that kind of holding. Carson City reopened its coining operation in 1889 after a four-year pause, so the CC Morgans of the early 1890s come from a short final run that collectors chase hard. Most survivors from that era saw heavy handling in the West, which makes an uncirculated piece with a documented hoard provenance a genuinely appealing find.

George T. Morgan's obverse shows Liberty facing left in a Phrygian cap, her hair tied with wheat and cotton while LIBERTY reads clearly across the coronet. E PLURIBUS UNUM arcs above, thirteen stars ring the lower field, and the 1890 date sits boldly at the base. The reverse centers on an eagle with wings spread wide, clutching an olive branch and arrows above a laurel wreath, with the CC mintmark struck below the bow. Strike detail is strong through the wing feathers and wreath, and the devices show sharp relief against even, reflective fields.

NGC graded this Morgan MS-62+, with the plus noting quality at the upper end of the grade. Bright mint luster rolls across both sides, a touch of light russet tones the rim, and the scattered contact marks are the expected result of bag and casino handling rather than circulation wear. Eye appeal runs above what the numeric grade suggests, and the hoard label adds a layer of documented history that plain holders lack. A welcome addition to any collection of Carson City silver dollars.
