Description
Conditionally Unsurpassed 1889-CC Dollar
MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike
1889-CC $1 MS64 Deep Mirror Prooflike NGC. No other Carson
City dollar in this popular series garners the respect of the
'89-CC. The dispersal of vast quantities of CC Morgans from
Treasury and Redfield hoards saw every date, including the 1879-CC,
increase in Uncirculated numbers from roughly 5,000 coins to over
900,000 pieces. Every date, that is, except for the 1889-CC, with
only a single reported bag from government vaults being the chief
source of Mint State pieces today. According to Rusty Goe: "Until
the early 1950s, several dates in the "CC" dollar series were
considered rarer than the 1889-CC, but as the Treasury began
releasing thousands of other dates in the "CC" series, collectors
realized 1889-CC's were not to be included. Prices shot up
immediately, and when it was discovered that 1889-CC dollars were
not part of the GSA sales, prices soared."A generous percentage of high grade '89-CC survivors exhibit either prooflike or deep mirror prooflike fields, but the vast majority of those are heavily abraded and grade MS62 at best.
All but unsurpassable in terms of both technical and aesthetic appeal, this lovely near-Gem sparkles with glassy fields and boldly impressed devices. The overall appearance is one of radiant brilliance, but delicate golden-russet rim accents are noted on both sides. With such great quality, combined with its key date status, this coin belongs in the collection of an advanced Morgan dollar specialist. Census: 12 in 64 Deep Mirror Prooflike, 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P9, N7079)
