Big congrats on a super valuable coin.
It looks like the 1885cc has only 228000 minted while the 1889cc has 350000 minted. Why would the 1889cc be worth so much more according to the Red book and the Blue book?
Nice score !
If non-dug, with no environmental damage, some pretty impressive retail values. See chart at link below for all 1889 Morgans.

Very cool coin you found. Back in my numismatic days that was one of the most common counterfeit coins out there due to the staggered grade values. The history part is intriguing to me. How do you think the coin got there and why so deep (14") ? What drew you to this location thing good finds could be there over the years ? I'm happy for you that you stuck with it.
If you're upset that the soil might have been unkind to it, then send it to me. I will gladly suffer the indignity ! Great show.
X2 , Congrats on a fabulous find !
