Desirable 1889-CC Dollar, MS62 Prooflike

1889-CC $1 MS62 Prooflike NGC. Far and away the most desirable and elusive of the great Carson City triumvirate that also comprises the 1879-CC and the 1893-CC, the 1889-CC is a great collector prize. Although the mintage was only 350,000 examples (and the 1960s Treasury hoards apparently omitted the issue), fortunately a considerable percentage--Bowers estimates 25%--show semiprooflikeness. This silver-white piece is fully prooflike on both sides (and so certified by NGC), with thick mint frost on the devices and deeply mirrored fields. Minor field chatter with a few larger, scattered marks, mostly away from the focal points, comprises the grade, but the appeal is great for this key date. Census: 23 in 62 Prooflike, 49 finer (7/08).(Registry values: P9, N4719)
