1893-C Morgan (not a typo)

messydesk

My US New Year's newp is a 1893-CC Morgan (VAM 4) with one of the Cs of the mint mark filled with schmutz. I've seen this before on this die pair, on a scratched VG. You can still see part of the first C, so perhaps the schmutz was working its way out. Cool, nevertheless, and a nice, wholesome VF, to boot.

Ah ha! Made at the Mint at Carson, Nevada rather than Carson City, Nevada. Nice find - and on a scarce date/mint, too.

That is an interesting coin... I like the wear and the mint mark aberration makes it quite unique. Thanks for showing us... Cheers, RickO

If there is one, there is more.
Maybe someone here has a relative in hand and will share a picture.
Thanks for sharing.

I thought maybe it was a chocolate Morgan

@moursund passes to himself, and goes for another point!

Maybe it was a "Chocolate Mint Morgan"...
