详细说明: 1889-CC Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-61 DMPL (PCGS). CAC. After coinage operations was forcibly halted from 1886-1888 due to political considerations in Washington, D.C., the Carson City Mint started to strike Silver Dollars once again in 1889. The resumption of coinage came late in that year, however, and only 350,000 coins were struck before the Mint moved on to production of the 1890-CC. The 1889-CC is not the lowest-mintage issue among Carson City Mint Morgans, but it is the rarest in today's market in terms of total number of coins known to exist as well as total number of coins extant in Mint State.<br />     A bright, brilliant-white survivor, this BU example is vibrantly lustrous with a deeply mirrored finish in the fields. The devices are set apart with more of a frosty texture, and they are also characterized by sharp-to-full striking detail. Overall scuffiness to the obverse limits the grade, but the coin is a solid BU with no wear, full luster and no individually distracting abrasions. Conditionally rare for the issue, as such, and sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced Morgan Dollar set.
