General Notes: The 1890-CC Morgan dollar debuted in the GSA Great Silver Sale in 1973 under the headline The Coins Jesse James Never Got. Representing a very small number of all GSA Morgan dollars, only 3,949 were ever issued in GSA soft packs or hard packs, out of a total mintage for this issue of 2,309,041. Whether circulated or uncirculated, all 1890-CC GSA Morgan dollars are considerably scarce and attract huge premiums from buyers, especially those who are enthusiastically building a set of GSA Hoard silver dollars. PLs and DMPLs are sought after. PCGS #: 518878 NGC ID: 255D
