***Auction Highlight*** 1893-cc Vam 2A R5 Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms65 By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT of the NIGHT – Up for Auction is one of the last coins ever struck in the legendary Carson City Mint, a superb Gem 1893-cc Morgan Dollar, Vam 2A, Late Die State, (LDS), RARITY 5. The return of the anti-silver Democrat Grover Cleveland to the White House in the presidential election of 1892 sounded the death knell of coinage operations at the Carson City Mint. The last of the facility's Morgan dollars, a total of 677,000 pieces, fell from the presses in 1893. Although quantities of 1893-CC dollars emerged from government vaults from the 1920s through the late 1950s, their numbers were far fewer than those of many of the CC-mint issues from the early 1880s. A date that was essentially absent from the Treasury Department releases of the 1960s and the later General Services Administration sales, the 1893-CC is now widely recognized as one of the rarest Morgan dollars from the Nevada branch mint.In addition to mostly full definition, this Gem is praiseworthy for an uncommon lack of distracting abrasions. In fact, the number of blemishes is few, and there is not a single area of bothersome incompleteness of detail. Untoned, with rich, coruscant mint frost. and possessed of memorable eye appeal. The mint mark is tilted right and there is a die chip between the loops of the 3 (VAM 2a); die cracks are forming in the legends of both sides, and the area to the right of the eagle’s wing shows evidence of multiple die clashes. This appears to be one of the later state strikes which are said to be among the last Carson City silver dollars ever produced. One of the finest certified 1893-CC Morgan's, this coin shares the MS65 grade level with few coins and is 1 point from the finest known, an ms66 that trends $180,000 and last sold for $161,000. I have included 2 other ms65 examples for your comparison. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
