1889-CC $1 AU58 Prooflike NGC
<B>1889-CC $1 AU58 Prooflike NGC.</B></I> Prooflike 1889-CC dollars are highly desired among Morgan dollar collectors. David Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States</B></I>, writes of this issue: "Prooflike coins are usually cameos, but often have numerous bagmarks from the effects of Treasury storage and handling over the years."<BR> This high-end About Uncirculated Prooflike example is remarkably clean for a coin that has seen limited circulation. Liberty's cheek and neck are quite smooth, and just a few minute marks are scattered over each side. Mild field-motif contrast is visible on both obverse and reverse, especially when the coin is tilted under a light source. Occasional splashes of red and cobalt-blue color are noted, though the faces are essentially tone free. Relatively strong definition is visible on the design elements.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
