Conditionally Scarce Gem 1890-CC Morgan Dollar

1890-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. The mintage of the 1890-CC Morgan dollar is "far and away the largest in the Carson City series" (at 2,309,042 pieces), according to Bowers' A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, but "does not translate to pieces' being common in Mint State today." That statement is especially true where Gems are concerned; and examples graded above MS65 are extremely rare. This coin shows lovely champagne toning over both sides, along with substantial mint luster and bold striking details overall; even if the centers are a tad soft. There are only a few minor surface marks. (Registry values: P5, N2998)
