Scarce Gem 1891-CC 'Spitting Eagle' Dollar

1891-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. VAM-3. A Top 100 Variety. The so-called "Spitting Eagle." For the Carson City dollars struck between 1881 and 1885, a large percentage of the original mintage emerged from the GSA hoard in Mint State grades. Not so for the CC-mint dollars struck between 1889 and 1893, since these are comparatively scarce, especially in Gem condition. This crisply struck example possesses exemplary fields, and only a few inconsequential marks are on the face. Dusky chestnut and cream-gray color does not inhibit the coruscant cartwheel luster.(Registry values: P6, N2998)
