Losbeschreibung

This premium quality Gem example delivers noteworthy condition rarity in a semi-key date Carson City Mint Morgan dollar. Both sides are gracefully toned in champagne-rose and pinkish-apricot iridescence. Lively mint luster in a frosty to modestly reflective finish shines forth powerfully to further enhance the eye appeal. Sharply to fully struck with carefully preserved surfaces.<p>Despite its generous mintage the 1890-CC is one of the scarcer CC-Mint Morgans in today's market, with even the lower mintage 1880-CC, 1881-CC and 1885-CC more plentiful in Mint State (to say nothing of the truly common 1882-CC, 1883-CC and 1884-CC). On the other hand, the 1890-CC is one of the more frequently encountered Carson City Mint Morgan dollars in worn condition, suggesting that many were released into circulation beginning in the final decade of the 19th century. Additional coins entered commercial channels from the San Francisco Mint during the early 1940s. Mint State survivors are largely from releases to dealers and collectors during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, the source of these coins the storage vaults in the San Francisco Mint and Washington, D.C.'s Treasury Department Building. The MS-60 to MS-63 grade range encompasses most of these pieces, and even in solidly graded MS-64 the 1890-CC is scarce by the standards of the type. Gems in MS-65 are rare, while in MS-65+, as here, the 1890-CC is a significant condition rarity that is only infrequently encountered. Indeed, we have seen few other examples that are as smooth and attractive as this gorgeous premium Gem.
