Description
Memorable 1889-CC Morgan Dollar
MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1889-CC $1 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS Secure. CAC. The
1889-CC and 1893-S Morgan dollars are almost certainly the two
business strikes that top the want lists of more series collectors
than any others. The 1889-CC is by far the single most desirable
Morgan dollar from the Carson City Mint, an emission that was low
even by the paltry standards of that facility and one where many
specimens wound up being melted later. Examples in the MS64 and
MS65 grade levels are few and far between, although one
unbelievable MS68 exists that we have handled. Fortunately, MS63
coins such as the present piece, while still expensive, are a bit
more available, and many of those pieces are found with delightful,
deeply contrasting surfaces. This MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike coin
offers surfaces that are primarily silver-white, with tiny color
accents on each side. Abrasions are minimal for the grade, and the
strike is well-impressed. A coin with super eye appeal, destined to
form a centerpiece in a fine collection. Population: 46 in 63 Deep
Mirror Prooflike, 15 finer (8/10).(Registry values: P9, N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2559, PCGS# 97191, GSID# 7750)
