1893-CC Morgan Dollar MS-65 Redfield Hoard
The 1893-CC Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating chapter in American currency, minted at the famous Carson City facility. Containing 0.77344 ounces of silver, this coin was part of a design series that circulated as everyday money for nearly eight decades. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, which is adorned with a band inscribed with the word LIBERTY. On the reverse, a bald eagle holds a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. This specific coin carries a remarkable provenance, originating from the famous Redfield hoard. This massive accumulation of 400,000 Morgan Dollars was sold at auction in 1976. To distinguish their unique origin, coins from this hoard were subsequently encased in specialized red plastic holders, earning them the nickname Redfield dollars. Graded at an exceptional Mint State 65 (MS-65), this coin combines the historic legacy of the Carson City Mint with the intriguing lore of one of the most famous private silver hoards in American history.
