Guidelines for Collecting:

While the mintage of the 1890-CC was the largest in the Carson City series, the quantity produced this year does not mean that Mint State pieces are plentiful today. Large quantities were likely released into circulation in the 19th century, and many bags were presumably later melted under the provisions of the 1918 Pittman Act. In 1964, the Treasury took stock of its remaining holdings and found that only 3,949 1890-CC dollars remained. Most 1890-CC dollars are nicely struck and have an attractive luster, while some will show bagmarks.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

Not often seen in circulated grades though an occasional well-worn specimen shows up. EF and AU are elusive grades but can be tracked down with patience.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

Not as available as some might imagine given the mintage figure. Still, the date can be found in MS-63 or 64 with no real difficulty—anything beyond that and the scarcity becomes notable. Look for a sharp strike and lively luster.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
