Don’t overlook the scarceness of any Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar. Like countless other Morgan Dollar issues, the actual number of existing Carson City mint pieces is often terribly misrepresented by official mintage numbers. Under the Pittman Act of 1918, more than 270 million Morgan Silver Dollars were melted. While there is no way to know precisely how many coins of each date were officially melted, what coin collectors can say for certain is that many of these pieces were Carson City coins and, given the extremely high popularity of Morgan Dollars, there simply aren’t enough Carson City silver dollars to satisfy current demands. It is therefore wise to seek out the best Carson City silver dollars you can afford to help increase your chances of a handsome return on your investment should you decide to sell your coins down the line.
