Description
Splendid 1889-CC Dollar
MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1889-CC $1 MS63 Deep Mirror Prooflike PCGS. This is the by
far the rarest CC-mint Morgan dollar issue, with the splendid bonus
of Deep Mirror Prooflike surfaces. To top it off, this Select coin
is certified by PCGS in a prior-generation green-label holder,
adding to its allure and collectibility for many collectors who
view the green-label coins as adhering to tighter grading standards
than the later blue-label issues. While our response is "Always buy
the coin, not the holder," the green-label PCGS coins are
enduringly popular.Of course this coin would be popular in any holder, with blindingly mirrored silver-white fields and deeply frosted devices. Some light chatter in the fields accounts for the grade, but Liberty's cheek is exceptionally clean, save for a single reeding mark at the corner of the eye. Minor strike softness shows on the hair over the ear. Population: 46 in 63 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 16 finer (6/09).
