The 1891-CC Morgan Dollar comes from the next to last stretch of silver dollar coinage at the Carson City Mint, and this one carries the Nevada Casino Hoard pedigree on its NGC label. Carson City released 1,618,000 silver dollars that year, and the CC mintmark remains the one collectors chase hardest in the Morgan series. Many Nevada dollars sat in casino cages for decades and were paid out across gaming tables, so mint state survivors from that source are worth seeking out. This pedigree ties the coin directly to the silver dollar's working life in the Nevada gaming halls.

The obverse carries George T. Morgan's Liberty head facing left, crowned with a Phrygian cap and a wreath of cotton and wheat that nods to the farm states of the era. LIBERTY reads clearly across the coronet, while E PLURIBUS UNUM arcs above and thirteen stars frame the lower field with the 1891 date below. On the reverse an eagle spreads its wings with arrows and an olive branch in its talons, set inside an open wreath. The small CC mintmark sits beneath the wreath bow, and the devices show strong definition with crisp lettering around the rims.

NGC graded this Morgan Dollar MS-62+, a Mint State coin with the plus designation that marks it at the high end of the grade. The surfaces stay bright and largely untoned, with flowing cartwheel luster broken only by the scattered contact marks expected at this level. Carson City dollars in Mint State with a documented Nevada pedigree make an appealing combination of condition and provenance, and the strike here is sharp on Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast. A welcome addition to any collection of Carson City Morgan Dollars or pedigreed silver.
