Morgan Dollars
1889-CC $1 AU58 PCGS. Coinage of silver dollars at the Nevada branch mint resumed in October 1889, when newly appointed coiner Charles H. Colburn struck 100,000 pieces. Another 100,000 dollars were manufactured in November, followed by 150,000 more in December, giving the 1889-CC a low mintage of 350,000 coins. Rusty Goe explains in The Mint on Carson Street: "For unknown reasons, approximately 250,000 to 325,000 1889-CC silver dollars were eventually melted, securing this date as one of the keys to a set of Morgan dollars." Most survivors are well-circulated. Scarcely are they found as nice as this brilliant near-Mint representative. The strike is as bold over the centers as one may hope to find. Specks of translucent golden-brown patina hug the rims, while glowing luster sweeps across minimally marked surfaces.
