1881-CC Eagle, MS62
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1881-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. The 1881-CC is a popular Nevada ten dollar issue with a mintage of just over 24,000 pieces, and the PCGS Population Report tops out at MS62; moreover, there are just 15 certification events at that level, making coins such as the present piece Registry Set rarities (12/10). While scattered light abrasions and luster scrapes preclude Select status, this example has much to recommend it, including yellow-gold luster tinged in orange. Strongly detailed devices show light patina from storage, as do the nearby fields. An all-around important prize from the legendary Carson City Mint.
