Description

1881-CC Eagle, MS61
Rare in Mint State

1881-CC $10 MS61 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1881-CC is a better Carson City issue with a low mintage of 24,015 pieces. Nonetheless, a few dozen coins have been certified as Mint State, predominantly in MS60 to MS62 grades. Those coins likely spent several decades in European bank vaults, where they were included in bullion reserves, and have gradually been repatriated to the United States in recent decades. This salmon-pink Carson City ten displays cartwheel luster and is sharply struck. The grade is determined by contact on Liberty's cheekbone. The fields show distributed small marks. Housed in a circa-2000 holder. Census: 22 in 61, 13 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265X, PCGS# 8692, Greysheet# 9494)

Weight: 16.72 grams
