1889-CC Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Well struck and white. Nice prooflike surfaces. Within the reach of serious Morgan dollar collectors, this is the rarest Carson City Mint issue. The 1889-CC was produced to the extent of just 350,000 pieces. When the mint (which had closed in 1885) did not reopen until mid-year 1889, there was only six months of production possible. Odd as it may seem, approximately half of the Mint States in collectors' hands are either prooflikes or deep mirror in finish. A very choice coin, the devices are boldly contrasting between the frost on the relief surrounded by mirrored fields. Silvery brilliance throughout; a basically as it came from a bank bag, and one that presents itself as strikingly brilliant. The scattered bagmarks are minor enough that happily, there isn't one we can single out as noteworthy. Pop 46; 15 finer in 64 (PCGS # 97191) .
Estimated Value $24,000 - 25,000.
