Well Struck 1890-CC Gem Dollar

1890-CC $1 MS65 PCGS. This issue is not rare in Gem condition, but, like many of its Carson City counterparts, it is decidedly scarce at this grade level considering its original mintage of 2.3 million pieces. That is not because of poor production standards; it is likely that more coins were released into circulation in the western states than would have occurred with Philadelphia or New Orleans Mint coins. This Gem is well struck and nicely preserved, with just a few shallow marks on Liberty's cheek, and attractive russet-gold toning near the peripheries that increases the coin's overall eye appeal.(Registry values: P5, N2998)
