1900-O Over CC Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine to Extra Fine

Product Description

So how exactly did an Old South 1900 Morgan end up with traces of the famous CC mintmark when the facility had closed seven years earlier? When the Carson City branch mint was converted to an assay office, all of its equipment was sent to Philadelphia where its CC dies were re-punched with New Orleans' O. However, some of the dies were only partially effaced, creating the coveted turn of the century 1900-O over CC variety. Even so, more than 12 decades after issue, only a handful of surviving New Orleans specimens display the spectral marks of the legendary Carson City Mint. Very Fine-Extra Fine condition.
