The 1891-CC Morgan dollar is one of the more widely available Carson City Morgan dollars in terms of overall availability, and it is plentiful in the lower MS grades. The spitting eagle variety is noted by a die chip in front of the eagle's beak which gives the appearance of something coming from the bird's mouth.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
