1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS62
Attractive Key Carson City Date

1889-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. The 1889-CC Morgan dollar boasts a minuscule mintage of 350,000 pieces, making the issue an important key in the series and the rarest Carson City Morgan. The present coin is conservatively graded MS62, but it has many attributes of a higher-grade piece. The design elements are sharply detailed, with much crisper definition than usually seen on the 1889-CC. The mint luster is vibrant and frosty, also much superior to the typical specimen. The surfaces are brilliant, except for a single spot of dark color on the reverse rim, about 3 o'clock. A series of minor abrasions in the left obverse field explains the grade. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 80 in 62, 99 finer (8/10).(Registry values: P9, N4719)
