1890-CC Liberty Head Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.

$9,500

Superior Mint State 1890-CC Liberty $10

MS-61 (PCGS) CAC

Gorgeous apricot-gold surfaces are fully lustrous with a billowy, satin to softly frosted texture. The striking detail is full throughout, and both sides are exceptionally well preserved in superior Mint State in quality.

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, which is a limited 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 offer truly wholesome surface quality, and this CAC-approved example is certainly among the most desirable examples available to the discerning numismatist.
