Important 1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS60

1889-CC $1 MS60 NGC. Sharply struck and lustrous with frosty grayish-silver surfaces beneath pale gold toning. An attractive Mint State example, but not graded any finer due to slight grazing of the luster on the highest design points.
NGC provided the following description of this piece in their Photo Proof certificate: "The attractive specimen presented here is sharply struck and displays luster of coarsely-grained frostiness. Light toning of amber and lavender bathes both sides, while lacy die cracks link much of the reverse legend."
Clearly one of the most important Morgan dollar issues, with only a couple dates of higher rarity in Mint State grades. The number of collectors pursuing this series is undoubtedly higher than the surviving population of Mint State examples of this date.
Accompanied by an NGC "Photo Proof."(Registry values: P9, N4719)
