Description
Fully Lustrous 1890-CC Eagle
1890-CC Liberty Head Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).
Gorgeous golden-rose and powder blue surfaces are fully lustrous with a lovely, satin to softly frosted texture. The striking detail is full throughout, and both sides are exceptionally well preserved and not all that far removed from Choice Mint State. Ten-dollar eagle production resumed at the Carson City Mint in 1890 after a hiatus of five years. The 1890-CC has a mintage of 17,500 pieces, but thanks to an above average rate of survival it is one of the more frequently encountered issues in this mintmarked gold series. We believe that fewer than 1,000 coins are extant in all grades, however, a small total given the popularity of Carson City Mint coinage in today's market. The Mint State population is even smaller still with Rusty Goe (2020) estimating just 150 to 187 coins at that level. Few Uncirculated survivors are as nice as this PCGS MS-61 example, certainly among the finest currently available.
PCGS# 8718. NGC ID: 266S.
From the PentaMint Collection.
