<B>1889-CC $1 AU58 NGC.</B></I> The following comments by Bowers (1993) regarding this Carson City issue are highly instructive: "The 1889-CC is very scarce in worn grades. Apparently, relatively few were released into circulation in or near the year of mintage. Most that come on the market show quite a bit of wear, and grades from VG-8 through VF-30 are encountered more often than higher grades as EF-40 to AU-58." This near-Mint representative is a pleasing example that shows an uncommon amount of detail for the grade. Highpoint wear is minimal, and is only evident on the eagle's neck, upper breast feathers and talons; and on Liberty's upper hair tresses, near the forehead. Faint splashes of golden patina occur on both sides, but the piece is largely untoned. A few wispy hairlines and slide marks are noted on the obverse.<BR><I>From The Parker Lee III Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
