|
1890-CC MS-61, and 1891-CC AU.
|
|
Each is white and similar in appearance, although by Scotsman assessment, 1890-CC seems to grade MS-61 while 1891-CC would only garner an AU-55 grade. Famous Carson City coins only in this... |

1890-CC (VAM-12) PCGS MS-63 (rattler).

A small, diagonal die gouge at the corner of the eye, and doubling of CC attribute VAM-12. Sensational silvery luster spills through the fields of this choice example, with traces of peach toning... |

1890-CC NGC MS-63.

An upgrade candidate at first glance, both sides display marvelous, frosty low-contrast alabaster eye-appeal, accompanied by only a very faint touch of butterscotch near the rims. The speculative... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Strong, somewhat colorful patina suggests long storage in a Kraft envelope, as the rose-grey patina and golden overtones seen here often develop in such an environment. Shimmering luster displays... |

Checkered Collection. 1890-CC frequently gets representation by heavily bag marked or abraded coins, and it is difficult to locate pleasing examples with clean surfaces. For the lucky collector... |

1890-CC GSA Soft Pack NGC VG-10.

Exceptionally difficult to locate in a soft-pack, even in VG-10 an 1890-CC should prove to be aggressively pursued by knowledgeable bidders. Strictly original, of course, and pleasing in every... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Zero major marks endorse the PCGS MS-64 grade. Pleasant bronze rim tone suggest that this was once an album coin, as light grey patina suffuses the entire surface. Details show the effects of a... |

1890-CC/CC PCGS MS-62.
|
|
The Blitzer Collection. VAM-12. This VAM ought to be more popular, as the doubled mintmark is easy to find, at least for a nice UNC like this. The coin displays sparkling white luster over vibrant... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Examples of 1890-CC very often come with heavily abraded surfaces, but despite the mundane MS-62 grade, Liberty's cheek is not as noisy as expected, showing only a small excess of tiny surface grazes.... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-65.

Easily recognizable as a semi-key, especially in GEM grade, 1890-CC actually featured a relatively strong production run of 2.3-million pieces, although most survivors display heavy abrasions and... |

1890-CC and 1891-CC, both Paramount MS-60.
|
|
Classic Redfield toning affects this pair of Carson City dollars, although the Paramount slabs do not explicitly state that provenance. Interestingly, the given grade of MS-60 is perfect or even a... |

|
1890-CC/CC (VAM-5, late die-state) PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Frequently, an 1890-CC will display blazing luster and many bagmarks, but this is a contrarian example. Here we find surfaces that are surprisingly clean for the issue, with few bagmarks or ticks... |

1890-CC GSA MS-63.
|
|
1890-CC is considered the second rarest collectable GSA dollar, following only 1879-CC. This fully white example may barely qualify for an MS-63 grade, since GSAs tend to get beneficial grade... |

1890-CC MS-64.

1890-CC GSA MS-63.

Essentially white with greyish patina on the high points, evidence of coin-to-coin contact. The cheek is not really abraded, but has heavy friction or widespread luster grazes. Probably MS-62 or... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-63.
|
|
The reverse of this blast white coin is remarkably well preserved, and probably grades at least MS-66 on its own. Turning the coin over, some abrasions must be noted on Liberty's cheek, and indeed,... |

1890-CC GSA MS-63.
|
|
For a tougher GSA Carson City, this 1890-CC is a touch nicer than usual for MS-63, with blazing silver-white luster that is mostly undisturbed in the fields. Liberty's cheek is acceptably abraded for... |

1890-CC (VAM-7) GSA NGC MS-63.
|
|
The vast majority of mint-state 1890-CC Morgan dollars, especially those remaining in GSA slabs, are relegated to lower-end status, as heavy abrasions are the norm. NGC has graded this example MS-63,... |

1890-CC VAM-4 "Tailbar" PCGS Genuine.

Cleaning indicated by the PCGS Genuine-92 code is not immediately apparent and manifests itself as wispy hairlines in the left and right obverse fields under magnification. Luster is hardly affected... |

1890-CC and 1891-CC MS-60.

Fresh out of a consignor's collection is this pair of Carson City Morgan dollars, both nearly brilliant and awaiting placement in a new home. The 1890-CC grades MS-62, and the 1891-CC grades the same... |

1890-CC and 1891-CC Morgan dollars.

Neither of the Carson City Morgan dollars in this lot is certified, but they match up well aesthetically. The 1890-CC grades MS-64, with a touch of beige patina and claims to a higher grade. The... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-64PL.
|
|
Plenty of die rust is plainly evident along the lower rim, and undoubtedly was the impetus for repolishing of the dies that struck this 1890-CC. The result was the prooflike appearance provided by... |

1890-CC VAM-4, Tail Bar, Top 100 Variety. NGC MS-62.

A conspicuous die scratch was responsible for the prominent raised line of metal connecting the eagle's tail with the wreath below. As is usually the case, this is a well struck coin, but the MS-62... |

|
1890-CC PCGS MS-63.
|
|
On its own, the virtually impeccable reverse would suggest at least a gem grade, but Liberty's cheek displays numerous microscopic abrasions that bring about the overall average grade of MS-63. Still,... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-63.

1890-CC PCGS MS-63.

Unusually clean for a Carson City dollar at this grade level, Liberty's cheek sports only tiny abrasions, although a few slide marks may have limited upgrade consideration. This coin is just a hint... |

1890-CC and 1891-CC Morgan dollars.

A pair of uncertified Carson City Morgan dollars, both with outstanding luster and mark free surfaces. The 1890-CC grades MS-64 and is a nice original coin. The 1891-CC grades MS-60, cleaned, but the... |

1890-CC PCGS MS-64 PL.
|
|
Frictional abrasions are a little exaggerated by the glassy fields and decidedly frosted devices, but no major blemishes occur anywhere. Heavy die polish lines protrude above the eagle's inner wings. |

1890-CC AU-50 and 1895-O VG-8 Morgan dollars
|
|
Though mildly abraded, the 1890-CC is not sufficiently hairlined to suggest cleaning, but we would grade it only AU-50 overall. At that level, it is a very lustrous, bright and well struck coin. The... |

1890-CC Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-63

Unusually well struck and lustrous, but a plentiful supply of tiny bagmarks across the focal areas are the ultimate determinant of this coin's grade. |

1890-CC Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-64 PL

Prooflike fields tend to magnify even tiny blemishes, and this dollar undergoes that fate. However, judicious examination confirms that it is nearly a pristine coin, and nearly untoned. Just a hint... |

1890-CC NGC MS-61.
|
|
Some abrading of the portrait conspires with a below average strike to limit the grade potential of the obverse, while the reverse appears fully choice. The second “C” of the mintmark is repunched. |

Although the reverse appears to grade fully “gem”, superficial abrasions across much of Liberty’s portrait, in combination with additional scattered luster grazes in the left obverse field, confirm... |

Flashy prooflike surfaces contrast quite nicely with the frosty, strongly defined devices. The reverse looks like an MS-65, but some scruffiness in front of Liberty probably only allows for the grade... |

Reflective fields favor the frosted devices of this aesthetically pleasing Carson City issue. A few insignificant scuffs and minuscule ticks do not detract from its untoned surfaces and bold strike. |
