Silver coin, 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar, United States Mint
History
The Morgan Silver Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, designed by George T. Morgan. This coin was struck during the height of America's westward expansion and represents a significant era in U.S. coinage history. The 1890 Morgan Dollar was produced at multiple mints including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco, with varying mintages affecting their collectibility today. Morgan Dollars are among the most popular and widely collected U.S. coins, appealing to numismatists, history enthusiasts, and silver investors alike. Their beautiful design featuring Lady Liberty and the American eagle, combined with their historical significance and silver content (90% silver, 0.77 troy ounces), makes them highly sought after. Collectors particularly value these coins for their connection to the Old West era and their role in American monetary history.
