<B>1889-CC $1 AU58 PCGS.</B></I> The 1889-CC is one of the keys in the Morgan dollar series, and is the most elusive issue from the Carson City Mint. David Bowers, in <I>A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars</B></I>, reports that of the 350,000 pieces made, "many thousands were paid out in the 19th century, yielding a supply of circulated pieces for numismatists today." Bowers also indicates that this issue has a below average strike.<BR> The present AU58 example displays a much better-than-average strike, including relatively strong definition in the hair at Liberty's ear and the eagle's breast feathers. Bright, essentially untoned surfaces illustrate some prooflikeness in the fields, and possess just a few minute marks consistent with brief circulation. This piece will fit comfortably in a high-grade collection.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
