The Rarest CC-Mint Morgan
1889-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65 (NGC).
An outstanding condition rarity to represent the key date issue among Carson City Mint silver dollars of the Morgan design type. Brilliant satin surfaces are exceptionally smooth with an in hand appearance that borders on pristine. Striking detail is razor sharp, if not full in virtually all areas, the perennially popular design by George T. Morgan readily appreciable in all aspects. The 1889-CC is the rarest Carson City Morgan silver dollar, handily outdistancing its two closest rivals, the 1879-CC and 1893-CC. Just 350,000 examples were struck between the resumption of coinage operations at Carson City in October 1889 and the end of that year. Given that this issue is scarce even in worn condition, few 1889-CC dollars seem to have found their way into circulation during the late 19th or early 20th centuries. Rarer still are Mint State survivors, most of which entered numismatic channels through limited distributions from federal holdings through the early 1960s, predominantly from the San Francisco Mint. Given its key date status and elusive nature at all levels of preservation, any 1889-CC silver dollar is greeted with considerable excitement when offered at auction. We certainly anticipate a warm reception among advanced bidders when this high grade condition rarity crosses the auction block.
