Description

1893-CC Dollar, MS63
With Shimmering Semiprooflike Fields

1893-CC $1 MS63 NGC. The low mintage of the 1893-CC accounts for much of its scarcity, and it was apparently circulated to some degree at the time of issuance. This piece has exceptionally bright mint luster with fields that many would call prooflike. Each side is brilliant except for a thin ring of reddish patina over the rims. The strike is weakly defined in the centers, as often seen on this issue, and there are several abrasions and luster grazes that account for the grade.(Registry values: P8, N2998)
