Dazzling Near-Gem 1893-CC Dollar

1893-CC $1 MS64 PCGS. This near-Gem is awash in potent luster, and displays an occasional wisp of barely discernible tan-gold color. The strike is well above average for the issue, evidenced by sharpness in the hair over Liberty's ear, and on the eagle's breast and wing feathers, the latter two elements usually revealing significant weakness (David Bowers, 2005). A few mild obverse grazes keep from full Gem, but these are a far cry from the "excessive bagmarks" often seen. PCGS and NGC combined have certified only 16 pieces grading higher (3/09).(Registry values: P8, N2998)
