I was tracking all of the Desert Find 89-CC's but realized they were going to bring stronger money than what I had even anticipated. It surely was a great find and opportunity for Morgan Collectors to add some MS 89-CC's to their portfolio.
Congratulations to the winners 
But , I did end up upgrading my 89-CC for what my budget (reaching hard) allowed.
Here are a few pics in different lighting. Some show the luster better than others while the others show the detail and surfaces better.
Thanks for looking

That one looks like it could be the poster child pic for the old west. Great date and nice pickup.

Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.
Nice coin.
Very nice coin, AU58?
Congrats!
Congrats on your upgrade.

Thanks for the comments so far.
I will post the grade/full slab pic tomorrow morning.
Looks good.P55 holder?
AU55, nice coin!
So please tell us more about the coins in your title. What did they go for? What were their grades? What was the significance of a "Desert Find" and it's backstory?

Sorry for the lack of info, I assumed most everyone knew about the Desert Find 89-CC's
Here is the grade.
I do believe it's undergraded by a point or two.
Either way, I like it as it is, green on green.
