Description
1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62
Beautifully Reflective
1889-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. VAM-2. Ex: Desert Find. Substantial
reflectivity adorns the fields on each side, bringing this coin
breathlessly close to a Prooflike designation. Indeed, we have seen
other Carson City dollars with similar field mirroring that had
been assigned a Prooflike grade. Frosty luster cascades over the
devices, complementing a sharp strike. Myriad light abrasions
define the numeric grade but are not as obtrusive as is seen on
many MS62 examples. When this cataloger first saw this piece, the
thought was immediately "so that's what an MS62 Carson City should
look like." The coin is excellent, and at this time not yet
submitted to CAC for review.The VAM-2 dies are in a slightly earlier state on this piece, without the spindly die crack through the base of the date. Other diagnostics are clear.(Registry values: P9, N4719)
