***Auction Highlight*** 1889-cc Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms63+ dmpl Details By SEGS. The 1889-CC and 1893-S Morgan dollars are almost certainly the two dates that top the want lists of more series collectors than any others. The 1889-CC is by far the single most desirable Morgan dollar from the Carson City Mint, a mintage that was low even by the paltry standards of that facility and one where many specimens wound up being melted later. One estimate from Carson City specialist Rusty Goe suggests upward of 92%, or 325,000 of the 350,000 pieces struck, were destroyed. Most surviving 1889-CC dollars can be found in heavily worn condition, with distributed coins having circulated extensively in the Western regions of this country. Uncirculated representatives are scarce in all grades. It might surprise some collectors to read that the 1889-CC has a fairly well-matched population between Proof like Mint State coins and similarly graded examples with either a satiny or frosty finish. When one considers that this issue's original mintage is just 350,000 pieces, then perhaps they can understand that many of the examples produced came from dies that still exhibited mirrored qualities. This is just such a coin, with both sides displaying a mostly uniform, deeply reflective finish. Untoned overall, both sides possess bold-to-sharp striking definition. Scattered abrasions confirm the MS-63+ assessment, but only an obverse reeding mark below Liberty's eye is worthy of individual attention. A Mint State example such as this would serve as a centerpiece in any advanced collection. I have included an ms63 DMPL and an ms64 DMPL example for your comparison A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
