1889-CC Morgan Dollar XF-45 NGC
1889-CC Morgan Dollar XF-45 NGC
The 1889 Morgan silver dollar struck at the Carson City Mint represents a fascinating moment in American numismatic history. With a remarkably low mintage of just 350,000 pieces, this specific issue stands out as one of the most sought-after representatives of the entire Morgan series. The famous "CC" mint mark on the reverse serves as a direct link to the silver boom of the Old West, where the Nevada-based facility transformed raw bullion into legal tender. Crafted from 90 percent silver with a total precious metal content of 0.7734 troy ounces, this coin is certified in Extremely Fine 45 (XF-45) condition. At this grade level, the coin retains sharp design details while showing honest wear from its brief time in circulation during the late nineteenth century. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty wearing her coronet, dated 1889, while the reverse displays the majestic eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, with the historic mint mark resting just above the denomination.
