Description
1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62
Thoroughly Frosty
1889-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. VAM-5. Ex: Desert Find. This piece is
among the frosty coins in the Desert Find group, lacking the
distinct field reflectivity of the VAM-2 pieces, and rightfully so
since VAM-5 is a late state variety. A vibrant cartwheel effect
rolls throughout each side, complementing a bold strike on the
devices. Faint grazes over Liberty's cheek and the adjacent field
define the MS62 grade but leave the eye appeal unusually high.
Moreover, CAC has not yet seen this piece for review. On the
reverse, a shallow reed mark above the eagle's head is all that is
notable.VAM-5 is the second die variety among the Desert Find coins. A crack threads through the date, and on the reverse a heavier crack runs through ONE and the adjacent star. Eventually, the latter cracks connects to DOLLAR, but here it stops short. The reverse die shows moderate die rust in the eagle's feathers.(Registry values: P9, N4719)
