Near-Mint Key 1889-CC Morgan

1889-CC $1 AU58 PCGS. A lightly toned Borderline Uncirculated representative of this coveted Carson City key. Sharply struck and partly lustrous with a mere hint of wear on the eagle's breast and the hair above Liberty's ear. Delicate field marks are present, none of which are of any individual significance. Traces of gold patina are chiefly confined to the peripheries. The 1889-CC has a higher mintage than the 1881-CC and 1885-CC, but those two issues appeared in vast quantity in Mint State within the GSA hoard, while the typical 1889-CC grades VF to XF, and only a single example of the 1889-CC was issued in a black GSA holder. It was recently offered for the memorable asking price of one million dollars, but the present non-GSA slider should prove much more affordable.(Registry values: P9, N2998)
