2698    1884-CC. PCGS graded MS-63 GSA. This is not your run-of-the-mill GSA Dollar, which is usually white and untoned.

Untoned on the obverse.
Estimated Value $200-250.

Key Date 1889-CC Morgan Dollar in MS-64

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

2741    1889-CC. NGC graded MS-64. An exceptional example of this rare, "key" date, Carson City Mint issue. Bright and brilliant, with the flashy "look" that mimics a well-struck S-Mint Dollar (for example an 1881-S or an 1882-S). Bold cartwheel luster and shimmering, semi-reflective surfaces. The 1889-CC Dollar remains a condition-rarity today, despite 17 years of certification -- NGC reports only 28 examples in this grade, 4 in MS-65, and 1 in MS-67! A tremendous opportunity for the serious collector to obtain a top-notch example of this extremely popular rarity.
Estimated Value $25,000-35,000.
