Morgan Dollars
1889-CC $1 AU58 NGC. Most Carson City issues in the Morgan dollar series were represented by thousands or tens of thousands of Mint State coins in the GSA sales of the early 1970s. Not so with the 1889-CC, which was represented in that distribution by just a single coin. No large quantities of this date have ever surfaced outside of the troves of well-circulated pieces that were plucked from commerce when the rarity of the issue became known to collectors. Uncirculated examples of the date are scarce in all grades, making this lustrous near-Mint coin highly appealing to the budget-restricted collector seeking a piece that will mesh nicely with an otherwise Mint State Carson City set. The coin is brilliant and shows sharp detail. Light surface chatter is consistent with the grade.
