Description
1881-CC Ten Dollar, Lustrous MS61
A Rarity in Uncirculated Condition
1881-CC $10 MS61 PCGS. Annual gold eagle coinages at Carson
City were little more than token quantities until 1891. In fact,
the mintage of the 1881-CC -- 24,015 coins -- was the highest
pre-1891 production total of this denomination from the Nevada
branch mint. This issue is popular with collectors but it is also
scarce in Mint State. Rarely are pieces offered finer than the
present. Frosty yellow-gold luster cartwheels around the obverse,
illuminating sharp design elements. The reverse is also sharp but
shows deeper orange-gold color with a cyan area to the right of the
eagle's head, where the remnant of a mint-made grease streak is
visible. Population: 23 in 61, 10 finer (9/18).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265X, PCGS# 8692, Greysheet# 9494)
Weight: 16.72 grams
Metal: Gold
