The Morgan Silver Dollar series, designed by George T. Morgan and first minted in 1878, represented the United States’ booming silver industry. Carson City (CC) coins are especially prized because of their low mintage and historical ties to the Comstock Lode in Nevada. By 1889, the Carson City Mint was producing limited quantities, making the 1889-CC one of the rarer dates in the series. The "Tooled" notation indicates that post-mint alterations were made to enhance or repair details, which is important for provenance and value considerations.
