Description

NGC 1889-CC MS 64 Deep Mirror Prooflike. A pleasing cameo by any standards, but made even more desirable by the rare combination of the 1889 date and the CC mintmark. Both sides are fully reflective and actually simulate the appearance of a branch mint proof except that the rims are rounded instead of square. A delightful, iridescent lilac toning has formed on the obverse and the reverse, confirming the original, uncleaned status of this important coin. To date, this is the ultimate grade for a DMPL 1889-CC. NGC has graded only three, with none higher, and PCGS has graded only two, with none higher. "Rarest of the rare" is an apt term for this incredible 1889-CC dollar.
