1890-CC Morgan Dollar Fine
The 1890 Morgan silver dollar represents a fascinating era of American currency, serving as a standard medium of exchange for nearly eight decades. Minted with a silver purity of 0.900, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. Its survival in Fine condition tells a story of active circulation, passing through countless hands during a time of rapid national expansion. On the obverse, the design showcases the profile of Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap, secured by a hair band inscribed with the word "Liberty". This side is framed by thirteen stars, the year of issue 1890, and the classic Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum". The reverse side displays a bald eagle, wings spread, clutching an olive branch alongside a bundle of arrows. Above the eagle, the motto "In God We Trust" is inscribed. The country name "United States of America" and the "One Dollar" denomination encircle the design. Positioned just below the eagle is the famous "CC" mint mark, indicating its origin at the historic Carson City Mint in Nevada.
