1889-CC Morgan Dollar Good-4 PCGS

---

The 1889 Morgan silver dollar struck at the Carson City Mint is one of the most famous issues in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Bearing the distinctive CC mint mark beneath the wreath on the reverse, this coin represents a highly sought-after issue from the historic Nevada facility. The Carson City Mint produced a mere 350,000 of these silver dollars in 1889, making it a standout representative of the entire series. This specific coin has been certified in Good-4 condition, showing the honest, heavy wear of a piece that actively circulated in the American West. Despite the extensive wear, key design elements and the essential inscriptions remain identifiable. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty surrounded by stars and the date 1889. The reverse displays the eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, accompanied by the national mottoes, the country name, and the one dollar denomination. Struck from 90 percent silver with a total precious metal content of 0.7734 troy ounces, this dollar carries the physical weight and character of a bygone era. It offers a tangible connection to the silver boom of the late 1800s, preserved through decades of handling and travel.
