<B>1889-CC $1 AU58 NGC.</B></I> This is a wonderful example of the rarest and most desired issue of Carson City Morgan dollars. Its surfaces retain considerable luster and exhibit sharp detail on the design elements, having seen just light circulation. What few marks that are scattered about do not detract from the coin's overall eye appeal, and nearly untoned surfaces reveal mere hints of peripheral light gold color.<BR> David Bowers, writing in <I>Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States</B></I>, says that most '89-CC dollars appearing on the market show quite a bit of wear, and grades from VG8 through VF30 are encountered more often than coins grading from XF40 to AU58. Bowers further indicates that Mint State pieces that come up for sale are in the lower levels of Uncirculated. High-end AU specimens such as the one offered here thus appear to be an excellent choice for inclusion in a high-grade Morgan dollar collection.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
