Morgan Dollars
1889-CC $1 MS62 PCGS. At first glance, and even upon closer inspection, this frosty MS62 Morgan dollar seems better-preserved than the grade suggests. Liberty's cheek and neck are void of marks. The adjoining fields are smooth without any overt abrasions, though microscopic, hair-thin flecks become apparent under a glass. The same is true of the reverse, featuring just a handful of minute, wispy marks and nothing else. Each side is almost entirely brilliant. Accents of pale champagne-gold occur mainly on the reverse. Liberty displays razor-sharp hair detail, and the eagle's breast feathers and talons are fully struck. Famously, the 1889-CC is the rarest Carson City emission in the series, and the second most elusive issue overall after the 1893-S. Most of the 350,000 coins struck were melted.
From The Siegel Collection.
