1891-CC Morgan Silver Dollar (1891-CC S$1 Morgan) PCGS MS65 CAC. This bright, white Carson City Morgan Dollar gleams with mint luster on both sides. The coin is an untoned silvery jewel. It is graded MS65, which is confirmed by CAC. A couple of minor marks in the fields on both sides and light chatter on Libertys cheek keep the coin from a higher mint state grade. The strike, which is above average, shows slight central weakness on both sides. The coin is in a PCGS OGH, old green holder.

Designed by George T. Morgan, the dollar shows a close-up head of Liberty in profile facing left. She wears a headband inscribed LIBERTY. In her hair are cotton, corn, wheat, and tobacco. She wears a modified Phrygian cap and is surrounded with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, thirteen stars (seven left and six right), and the date. Dentils are at the periphery of both sides of the coin. The reverse shows an eagle with wings raised looking left, resembling a heraldic eagle. In its talons are arrows and olive branch, symbols of preparedness and peace. A wreath is below, and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is above. Except for the eagles wing tips, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR, separated by stars, circumscribe the design.

When he applied to the Mint for the position of Assistant Engraver, Morgan wrote explaining his previous experiences: I am familiar with the engraving of coin dies, having for several years, assisted Messrs. J.S. & A.B. Wyon. I think I may say that I have a good knowledge of Design & Modeling. I served an apprenticeship to the Die Sinking at Birmingham. From Birmingham School of Art I successfully competed for a Scholarship at South Kensington during my Studentship I obtained Medals & Prizes for Models of Heads from Life, Figures from Life & Antique Heads from Photographs and Flowers from nature. I believe it is not usual for an Engraver to have a practical knowledge of Bronzing. Fortunately I have knowledge of this art and could in a short time so instruct an apt scholar that he would be able to successfully bronze a medal.

The 1891-CC dollar had an original mintage of 1,618,000. In its population report PCGS shows 498 at MS65 with 32 better. CAC shows 24 with 3 better.
