<B>1889-CC $1 MS60 NGC.</B></I> For those building an Uncirculated Morgan dollar set, there are only a few coins that are potential financial obstacles: the 1892-S, the 1893-S, the 1895-O, and the 1889-CC, all of which carry five-figure price tags in MS60 and run into six-figure values in the higher Uncirculated grades. Therefore, most collectors will gladly accept examples of these key date coins in the lower Uncirculated grades. Finding a pleasing coin at that level, however, can be a challenge. The current coin rises to the challenge! A respectable amount of cartwheel luster, especially for an 1889-CC, is retained on both sides. Liberty's cheek and the obverse fields are slightly interrupted by scattered abrasions, but all are inconsequential, save for one small mark below the BU in PLURIBUS. Overall, one would expect to see more distractions for a coin graded at the MS60 level. This piece provides the opportunity for a collector to obtain a legitimately Uncirculated, eye-appealing 1889-CC without paying the premium of a higher grade.<BR><I>From The Motor City Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
