Description

1889-CC Morgan Dollar, MS63
Well Preserved, Frosty Mint Luster

1889-CC $1 MS63 NGC. VAM-2. The low 350,000-piece mintage makes the 1889-CC a must-have key issue in both the Morgan dollar and the Carson City series. The Carson City Mint closed in 1885, and did not reopen until October 1889. Silver dollars were struck for only part of the year. These coins circulated extensively, and as a result most survivors are in VF and lower grades. Even XF and AU examples are scarce and in high demand. Uncirculated 1889-CC dollars are rare by the standards of the series, with the great majority of these in bagmarked, lower-than-Select grades. This Select Uncirculated coin is brilliant, frosty, and sharply struck for the issue. Marks are limited to a few extremely minor luster grazes, primarily in the left obverse field. Eye appeal exceeds the assigned numeric grade. NGC Census: 72 in 63 (5 in 63+, 1 in 63 ), 48 finer (8/25).(Registry values: P9, N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2559, PCGS# 7190, Greysheet# 7554)

Weight: 26.73 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
