This key-date Morgan retains strong overall detail with attractive medium-gray surfaces and honest light circulation wear. The devices remain boldly defined for the grade, with Liberty’s hair detail and the eagle’s feathering still clearly visible. Soft original patina adds to the coin’s pleasing, untouched appearance. With a low mintage of just 350,000 pieces and heavy attrition over the years, the 1889-CC has long stood as the premier rarity of the Carson City Morgan dollar series.
