Additional Description: The 1892 Silver Morgan Dollar from the Carson City Mint stands as a particularly desirable example of late nineteenth-century American coinage, prized for both its scarcity and historical resonance. George T. Morgan’s design presents Liberty in profile, her youthful visage crowned with wheat and cotton to reflect the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. The reverse features the American eagle, wings outstretched, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength tempered by peace.
The CC mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its origin at the Carson City Mint, a facility renowned for producing limited-run coins during Nevada’s silver boom. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, this dollar blends intrinsic value with artistic craftsmanship.
Collectors especially seek Carson City Morgans for their rarity and connection to the American West. Well-preserved examples offer a tangible link to frontier history and the minting excellence of a pivotal era in the nation’s expansion.
