Description

1889-CC Morgan Dollar
MS62 Deep Mirror Prooflike
Sought-After Carson City Key

1889-CC $1 MS62 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. The GSA sales of the early 1970s were the largest and most important disbursement of Carson City silver dollars in numismatic history. Approximately 2.9 million CC-mint silver dollars were sorted by hand according to perceived grade and quality. The vast majority of the coins (more than 2.3 million) were found to be of the 1882-CC through 1884-CC issues, with other large quantities from the '78-CC, '80-CC, '81-CC, and '85-CC issues. For the other six Carson City Morgan dollars, less than 14,000 coins were represented, collectively. The 1889-CC was among the latter group, with only a single coin recorded in the GSA hoard. Already a challenging issue in high grade, the 1889-CC Morgan was now one of the top key dates in the entire series.

This deeply reflective MS62 coin displays brilliant surfaces with subtle cameo contrast and sharp design elements. Scattered abrasions limit the grade but produce limited distraction. Eye appeal is pleasing for the grade.
