The 1889 Silver Dollar is a very common coin, with literally tens of thousands of certified Mint State examples available. Thousands of MS65 examples have been certified by PCGS, as have hundreds of MS66 and better examples. Where this date gets really rare is at the MS67 level. The finest example is a single PCGS MS68.
Cameo and Deep Cameo examples represent a mere fraction of the total population, but they are still readily available in the market. Both Cameo and Deep Cameo examples can be found up through MS66, but no further.
I really like how you guys grade. The grading seems very close to accurate. I am so happy with this coin I could just flip. But, it was a consolation prize. I fought long and hard with another bidder over a much higher valued coin. I still love my 1889 though. I take it out from time to time and just gaze at it. I keep all my good coins in capsules. Please, come up with some more hard to get Morgans so I can fight to own a really high value coin. Thank you for being a quality establishment.

Consistantly quality Coins. Buy from with no worry of getting counterfeit Coins. Thanks for COIN dealers like this. I'm working on getting all the harder to get or more rarer coins in the best condition I can afford first, then I'll fill in with the rest of them. It's good to find a dealer who you have delt with & know what kind of product you're going to get. I know one day my daughter will enjoy them.

Compared to Redbook, this piece was a bit of a reach for us. However, it is received with good collector value, though not particularly rare for a Morgan. We particularly like having a nice graded piece from the Philadelphia Mint in the 1880's.

In 1889 the Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco Mints were producing Morgan dollars, with subsidiary silver coins largely ignored. At the four mints, nearly 35 million silver dollars were coined, and more than 33 million of those were struck in Philadelphia and New Orleans. With 21,726,000 struck, the 1889 Philadelphia Mint dollar had the highest annual production of any issue in the entire series from 1878 to 1921. Only the 1922 and 1923 Peace dollars had higher mintages among all silver dollars coined from 1794 to 1935. To understand the size of the 1889 Morgan dollar mintage, consider that all the mints, working together, only produced a little over 20 million silver dollars in total from 1794 to 1875. Despite the immense mintage, this issue becomes very rare above the MS66 level. (Courtesy of NGC Coin Details)Read full review

ungraded coins can be just as good as graded coins in plastic shields. I like graded coins and pay more for them, but you can get a great value in coins free of plastic shields.

Received the 89 Morgan today it’s a decent coin rim is quite worn an not as sharp as I would like but I think a good coin for the money. When I photo coins I always try to get a good picture of the rim and the serrations . Thank you. Rodney
