Near-Gem 1890-CC Tailbar Morgan Dollar Just 6 Finer at PCGS 1890-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-4. Top 100 Variety. Tailbar. MS-64+ (PCGS). An untoned and flashy Near-Gem with significant reflectivity in the fields. The devices show a richly frosted texture and deliver a remarkable prooflike contrast on the reverse. Sharply struck and accented with a hint of peach patina. The highly regarded "Tailbar" variety featured a bold, raised vertical die line that connects the lowest arrow feather to the laurel leaves immediately below. Despite its generous mintage the 1890-CC is one of the scarcer CC-Mint Morgans in today's market, with even the lower mintage 1880-CC, 1881-CC and 1885-CC more plentiful in Mint State. However, the 1890-CC is also one of the more frequently encountered Carson City Mint Morgan dollars in worn condition, suggesting that many were released into circulation. Most Mint State survivors can be traced back to the hoards released from the vaults of the San Francisco Mint and Washington, D.C.'s Treasury Department Building in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. The MS-60 to MS-63 grade range encompasses most of these pieces, and even in solidly graded MS-64 the 1890-CC is scarce by the standards of the type. Examples are seldom encountered in grades approaching Gem Mint State, making this MS-64+ (PCGS) piece an important opportunity. Just 6 coins have been certified finer by PCGS. PCGS Population:8; just 6 finer in this category. PCGS# 87198. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
