Description
Vivid About Uncirculated 1883-CC Ten-Dollar
1883-CC Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.
This breathtakingly beautiful example exhibits outlines of vivid pinkish-rose iridescence to the design elements that provide outstanding eye appeal. It is otherwise medium orange-gold in color and retains nearly complete satin to semi-prooflike luster. Near-fully defined and nicely composed at the assigned grade level. In the first few years of the 1880s, mineral yields in Nevada declined markedly, and not as much precious metal made its way to the Carson City Mint. By 1883, the yields began to surge again when lower-grade ores started to be refined in addition to smaller, somewhat more distant mine operators shipping their bullion to Carson City. Ten-dollar gold production this year began to pick up; 12,000 eagles were produced, all in the month of July, nearly double the number made the previous year. Like most issues from this rather remote Western mint, the coins entered circulation almost immediately or managed to make their way abroad to be repatriated many decades later. Estimates range from as few as 125 to as many as 350 examples extant in all grades, the tightest and most accurate range being that of 150 to 200 coins put forth by Rusty Goe in 2020. All but perhaps a few dozen of the survivors are at the lower circulated grade levels. The Battle Born specimen, regarded as one the finest for the issue, is only MS-61. This AU-53 will certainly make an impressive addition to any Western gold cabinet.
PCGS# 8700. NGC ID: 2667.
CAC Stickered Population: 20 in all AU grades; 0 in Mint State.
