1889-CC Silver Dollar, AU53
Carson City Key Date

1889-CC $1 AU53 PCGS. VAM-3. This Morgan from a highly sought-after issue is mostly brilliant with peripheral hues of faint lilac and amber. A lone mottle on the right reverse is accented in cobalt-blue and lavender. The coin is well-struck with surface friction typical of an AU53 example, and a notable mark begins under Liberty's lip and extends diagonally upward. Pockets of luster in protected areas and strong reflective qualities in the fields produce noticeable contrast and attractive eye appeal. The key date status of the 1889-CC makes this issue popular in all grades.(Registry values: P9, N2998)
