1890-CC S$1 Tail Bar

Description

# 1890-CC Morgan Dollar PCGS MS-62 *Tail Bar* Variety - A Carson City Rarity. This exceptional 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating example of a classic Carson City Mint production, featuring the intriguing Tail Bar variety that distinguishes it from standard strikes of the year. Certified by PCGS at a solid *MS-62* grade, this specimen offers collectors a remarkable opportunity to acquire a scarce numismatic treasure from one of the most legendary mint locations in American coinage. The Tail Bar variety is characterized by a distinctive die characteristic on the reverse, where a small raised line appears near the eagle's tail feathers—a subtle yet significant detail that elevates this coin's collectibility. Struck during the later years of the Carson City Mint's operations, this dollar emerged from a total mintage of 2,309,041 pieces, with only a limited number surviving in comparable condition. The PCGS population report indicates just 325 examples graded at this level or higher, underscoring the coin's relative scarcity. Exhibiting the classic George T. Morgan design, this silver dollar displays sharp Carson City mint characteristics, with lustrous surfaces that retain significant mint bloom and minimal marks typical of its *MS-62* designation. The 90% silver composition and precise *38.1mm* diameter represent the standard Morgan Dollar specifications, making this an archetypal example of late 19th-century American coinage. Housed in a PCGS holder with certificate #49987094, this coin offers both numismatic significance and exceptional eye appeal.
