Description

Scarce 1889-CC Dollar, AU53

1889-CC $1 AU53 NGC. The obverse is mostly untoned with wisps of medium brown near the rims, while the reverse displays lovely russet, cobalt blue, and gold toning around the frosted devices. Lots of luster is present in the fields, and is hardly affected by scattered bagmarks. The detail is outstanding, and shows slight traces of friction on the eagle's breast and Liberty's hair. With a mintage of only 350,000 pieces and an exceptionally low survival rate, this is one of the scarcest and most desirable Carson City dollars. (Registry values: P9, N2998)
