What is an 1890-CC Morgan silver dollar worth?
An 1890-CC Morgan silver dollar is worth at least its silver, 0.7734 troy ounces times the live silver price, and usually more, because the CC means it was struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada. Updated November 2026. Collectors pay a premium over melt for Carson City dollars, and how much depends on the grade, the surfaces and the variety. We print no dollar figure here because silver moves every minute; our silver calculator gives the melt floor at today's price.
How do I know my Morgan dollar is an 1890-CC?
Check two things on the coin. The date 1890 is on the front under the portrait of Liberty. The small letters CC are on the back, below the eagle, between the ribbon ends of the wreath. A dollar dated 1890 with no mark was struck in Philadelphia, and one with an O or S came from New Orleans or San Francisco, so only the CC coin belongs to this page.
Why is a Carson City Morgan dollar worth more than melt?
The Carson City Mint produced a small share of all Morgan dollars, and collectors treat the CC mint mark as a series of its own. Coins in better condition bring more, and so do certain die varieties, which a dealer checks under magnification. A worn, scratched or cleaned coin sells closer to its silver, and cleaning a dollar can lower what a collector will pay.
What is the silver content? Every Morgan dollar is 90 percent silver, weighs 26.73 grams and holds 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver. That melt floor applies to the CC dollar too. Our silver dollar value guide shows the arithmetic and the other dates worth a closer look.

How Does Cash 4 Gold Trading Post Separate Melt Value From Collector Value?
Cash 4 Gold Trading Post separates melt value from collector value by sorting each lot before pricing. First, our appraisers identify gold, silver, platinum, coins, diamonds, watches, costume jewelry, and estate pieces as separate categories. Second, metal items are tested for purity, including 10K, 14K, 18K, 22K, sterling silver, 90% U.S. silver, and .999 bullion. Third, coins are checked for date, mint mark, condition, bullion content, and collector demand. Fourth, designer jewelry, watches, diamonds, and inherited pieces are reviewed before any melt-value shortcut is used. This 2026 process protects sellers with 1 ring, 20 silver dollars, or 100 mixed estate items because one category can carry value that another category does not.
What Should a Seller Bring for a Fast Same-Day Quote?
Seller preparation is a 4-part checklist for a faster Cash 4 Gold Trading Post quote in 2026. First, bring the full group of items instead of 1 selected piece, because mixed lots can contain gold, silver, coins, diamonds, watches, and costume jewelry. Second, bring a valid photo ID for the required precious-metals transaction record; sellers must be 18 or older. Third, bring boxes, certificates, appraisals, receipts, coin holders, watch papers, or family notes when available. Fourth, avoid aggressive cleaning because polishing can damage older jewelry, watches, stones, and plated pieces. Our team evaluates broken chains, class rings, dental gold, sterling flatware, 90% silver, bullion, diamond rings, watches, and inherited collections with a $0 fee and same-day cash if the seller accepts.

Why Does Local Testing Beat an Online Calculator?
Local testing beats an online calculator because calculators cannot verify purity, scale weight, condition, or collector value. A gold calculator assumes a karat, a gram weight, and a market price. Cash 4 Gold Trading Post checks those assumptions at the counter. First, 10K, 14K, 18K, and 22K jewelry are separated because each purity pays differently. Second, sterling, 90% silver, .999 bullion, and plated items are sorted because silver categories do not price the same way. Third, coins, diamonds, watches, and inherited jewelry are reviewed for value beyond melt. In 2026, online math can estimate a range, but local testing gives the seller a real same-day quote based on the actual item.
