Description

1881-CC Ten Dollar, MS62
Elusive High-End Example

1881-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Ex: Bender Collection. The 1881-CC Liberty eagle is rare in any Mint State grade. The finest pieces typically accessible are graded MS62, as PCGS and NGC each report just a single coin finer. This example is exceptional for its grade, showing vibrant luster and minimal surface marks, such that it easily earns CAC endorsement. The strike is sharp, further adding to the eye appeal. One thin scratch in the right obverse field at the base of the hair bun serves as a pedigree marker. The 1881-CC boasts a moderate mintage among Carson City coinage of 24,015 pieces, yet few pieces were spared attrition in Nevada territory commerce. Population: 13 in 62 (2 in 62+), 1 finer. CAC: 7 in 62, 2 finer (7/22).
