Description
1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62
Frosty Surfaces, Soft Mint Luster
1889-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. VAM 3. Ex: Desert Find. The '89-CC is
the rarest of the Carson City issues and is one of the biggest key
dates in the Morgan series, regardless of mintmark. The date is
scarce in any Mint State grade, but is particularly elusive in
MS63. In MS64, it becomes truly rare and out of the reach of many
Morgan dollar collectors. This MS62 example offers frosty
stone-white surfaces and plentiful mint luster for the assigned
grade. The coin comes from the once-in-a-lifetime discovery of 35+
1889-CC Morgan dollars earlier in 2025, which made history at the
2025 ANA. The date if far right and the CC mintmark leans left on
this VAM variety. Other Desert Find examples were struck with VAM-2
and VAM-5 dies.(Registry values: P9, N4719)From The Desert Find of 1889-CC Morgan Dollars.
