Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves—this PCGS AU58 1889-CC Morgan dollar is nothing short of a numismatic masterpiece, fresh from the dusty shelves of a New England estate as the story goes. The moment it crossed my desk, it evoked memories of that exquisite 1892-S CAC we recently entrusted to a West Coast Gentleman Collector; I simply couldn't bear to let this beauty slip away. Under 10x scrutiny, you'll detect the faintest whisper of friction on the peaks and a solitary, feather-light mark grazing Liberty's cheek, yet the coin's radiant allure eclipses these trifles, presenting a vision of unyielding elegance. Ideal for the discerning collector or as a crown jewel in a PCGS Registry pursuit, it retains its characteristic mint sheen almost wholly intact across obverse and reverse, gently veiled by an even, whisper-soft gray patina that enhances its timeless charm. Certified for superior quality by CAC, this rarity stands among a mere 37 green-stickered siblings in the grade, a testament to its elite pedigree.From its original mintage of roughly 350,000 pieces, the 1889-CC endured devastating attrition, with vast quantities likely consigned to the flames under the Pittman Act's mandate around 1920.
While everyday circulated survivors surface occasionally, flawless mid-grade exemplars—let alone those cresting the pinnacle of AU—dwell in the realm of the truly elusive, igniting frenzied pursuits at every auction. Secure this gem before it's gone!
