demand for the Carson City Morgan Dollars generally runs about 10 to 1 versus the other issues and 1892-CC is indeed a better date. there probably isn't a whole lot of downside if you can afford/buy the better CC dates in either high grade, DMPL, attractive tone or a combination of the three with ultimate coin being a better date, high grade Carson City Dollar with DMPL contrast and an attractive splash of color. though it's hard to argue with your statement about just how common this bullion coin is, an example like what i described is indeed a beautiful thing to behold. every true collector should have at least one Morgan Dollar in their collection, below is my personal favorite.
No. It is a very desirable coin IF you are a Morgan collector. If you want an interesting Morgan that presents more of a challenge, look for a MS63+ 'hot lips' variety of 1888-O. This variety is easy to find in circulated grades, but very tough in choice MS or up. This is probably the most desirable VAM variety in the entire Morgan series, one that even collectors who don't particularly care for Morgans might find desirable.
This is a date/grade where the population (worthy to note imo) has gone from 15 (4/04) to 20 (10/07) today yet the price remains firm as these lower pop CC dollars always command a premium if they are quality pieces for the grade.
Is this a good date? Yes
Is demand for these decent? Absolutely
Would you buy one if you could at these levels? A quality example......absolutely.

Then a nice 1900-O/CC would be fun, and they aren't too difficult to find in MS66 [I think Legend may still have one in inventory]. Plus, this over-mintmark is interesting to contemplate in view of the fact that the 1893-CC is the last Carson City issue in the Morgan series.

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. I asked about one coin, Nimrod.
It's an "academic" question...kind of like "hypothetical". If I wanted to know what a fun Morgan would be I would say:
CF collectors...What's a great "FUN" Morgan I should buy for a type set that I am not starting?
Just as with Saints, Morgans need to be cherrypicked for grade. A 92-CC in 66 should be extremely well-struck with excellent luster. With over 200 certified at PCGS, it's safe to say there are dozens you wouldn't want. Even though the pop reports show the 90-CC as being scarcer in 65+ than the 92-CC, the 92-CC is a "sexier" date than the preantepenultimate CC coins of 1890. I'm not going to try to predict future values, but a 92-CC in Lofty Grade will probably always be an in-demand coin, especially if it is nice for the grade. Given the choice of a 92-CC in 66 or two other dates of similar population, 1882-O and 1921-S, 9 collectors out of 9 would prefer to have the 92-CC, and that's reflected in the current prices.
If you want an interesting Morgan that presents more of a challenge, look for a MS63+ 'hot lips' variety of 1888-O
That would be a toughie in a PCGS holder as they have only graded 2 MS coins of which both a MS61's...........and NGC has graded 2 MS60's and 2 MS61's.......

If I had the cash I would buy one myself, had to settle for a MS 64
PEACE! This is the first day of the rest of your life.
Yes, it's definitely a better date, even for the cc's. Demand is always good for better date and high grade cc's. Me personally, I would buy one of the 10 65pl's (pop 10/0) or 2 65dmpl's (pop 2/0) if available, but of course the 65dmpl might not be available anywhere, and is considerably more expensive than a 65pl. Pop for the 66 is 20 with 2 67s.
As said above, the 92cc is a "sexier" date than other cc's, but I also like to try and find something that differentiates the coin from the others, which is why I collect pl's and dmpl's. Noone can say for sure, but I don't think you could go wrong financially speaking with a strong 66 1892-cc.

Any comments? God alone knows how many 92-CC's were melted in the Pitman Act, or how many may have been dispersed in the bag sales of the early 60's (probably not many), but for sure is the fact that not a whole lot of these coins survive in Gem or Superb Gem grades. You've read the pop reports... You might be a little anal retentive in how you demand your questions to be answered, but you're no dummy, but my answer is an emphatic yes, I would buy one if it came available, but only if it is good for the grade. Definitely want to sticker that coin.
I'm just thunking. Don't assume I'm becoming a Morgan collector. There are TOO DAMN MANY dates! >>
I am referring to the experts "tell" and not the thumbnail analysis that I may be able to make. FYI, I know an awful lot about modern gold, but I couldn't name the 10 most desired Morgans. My question was straight and to the point. Whether I inherited, bought or destroyed an 1892-CC is not of relevence here. (It's a hell of a better thread then hearing about some Ebayer who sent a coin 3 days late and wrapped it poorly.)
If you think there's anything sinister about that, then maybe you should position yourself accordingly and buy all the 1982-CC's you can find.

Paul, Paul, Paul.....tell me something I can't read. I watch the auctions, see the price guides, all that stuff.
I need some "perspective".
I'm NOT starting a type set.
If I did I would definately buy a MS66 or MS67, though.

If it were me, I would be looking at the 92-CC IN MS65 DMPL.
