AU58 1889-CC Dollar
Generous Remaining Luster

1889-CC $1 AU58 PCGS. The 1889-CC is one of the Big Five keys to the Morgan dollar series. Quantities were generally unavailable of this issue, although Bowers reports he was once offered a bag by Ben Stack, which he declined to purchase. Examples are eagerly sought in all grades, similar to the 1893-S, and problem-free coins can be especially challenging. This is such a coin. The surfaces are brilliant throughout and significant amounts of mint luster remain on each side. The strike is well-defined, and the only mark worthy of mention is a short nick on the eagle's breast.(Registry values: P9, N2998)
