Description
1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62
Important Carson City Key
1889-CC $1 MS62 NGC. The Carson City Mint resumed coinage
operations in October of 1889 after being inactive for a period of
four years during the first Grover Cleveland administration. Only
350,000 Morgan dollars were produced during the final four months
of 1889. The 1889-CC mintage was actually higher than a few other
Carson City dollar issues -- namely the 1881-CC and 1885-CC -- but
those earlier issues are more available in Mint State due to the
release of significant quantities from the General Services
Administration holdings in the early 1970s. In contrast, the
1889-CC Morgan dollar stands out for its rarity in Mint State and
presents a challenge even in circulated grades, making it one of
the most sought-after key dates in the series. It is only surpassed
in rarity by the 1893-S (and the proof-only 1895). The example
offered here boasts vibrant, brilliant luster and a sharp strike,
with minimal abrasions noted for its grade. Its eye appeal is
exceptional, exceeding expectations for specimens of this date and
mint mark.(Registry values: P9, N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2559, PCGS# 7190, Greysheet# 7554)
