1889-CC Morgan Dollar. NGC graded MS-61. A lovely frosty mint example of this important Key Date. A few minor obverse spots which are probably removable. Even if it wasn't the key date to the Carson City Morgan Dollar issue, this lustrous coin would be a contested item on the bidding floor. Although the insert does not describe the surface as frosty, the fields are nearly completely and beautifully so, and with modest field marks present consistent with the unassuming grade. Fully struck with good definition even in the usually suspect centers such as the eagle’s breast (which in this case has full plumage). Despite a few trivial hairlines, etc. accounting for the MS61 designation, this coin is seemingly conservatively graded. Pop 77; 214 finer (PCGS # 7190) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
