Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 7610)

The 1893-CC One dollar is part of a series of Morgan silver dollar coins struck from 1878-1921. Struck in Carson City and designated as a Business (MS) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 677,000 struck.
The 1893-CC Morgan dollar is one of the most famous and scarcest of all regular-issue Morgan dollars. Adding to its allure is that it is the last of the CC-mint Morgan dollars, hailing from the legendary Carson City Mint. Yet, there are just enough survivors for this piece that it remains obtainable, and there are plenty of specimens on the market at any given time.

The coin is relatively common through MS62, much scarcer in MS63, extremely scarce in MS64, and exceedingly rare in MS65 or higher grades. PLs are extraordinarily tough in any grade, with a handful known in the MS65 range. DMPLs are downright rare, with none known in the Gem level. Beware, many counterfeit 1893-CC Morgan dollars are on the market masquerading as the real deal. Buy certified when possible, unless confident in the ability to decipher authentic raw pieces from counterfeits.

Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
