Description
1881-CC Ten Dollar, MS62
Among the Finest at PCGS
Underrated in This High Grade
1881-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Ex: Sierra Biker. The
availability of the 1881-CC ten dollar in Mint State has been
significantly overstated dating back to the late-1990s, following a
surge of Uncirculated submissions at the leading grading services.
Rusty Goe explains in his new standard reference on Carson City
coinage, The Confident Carson City Coin Collector (2020),
that the "increase in specimens certified by the two major services
(especially NGC) has not resulted in an increase in the number of
pieces filtering into the market." He adds that "the mystery" of
the inflated submission totals "remains unsolved," particularly at
the MS62 grade level. He notes that the levels reported at both
services is "unsupportable."To that point, this is the finest 1881-CC Liberty Head eagle we have offered in more than eight years. Orange-gold surfaces are frosty and strongly defined, with bold stars, curls, and feathers. Peppered abrasions prevent a higher numeric assessment. Nevertheless, this is a top contender for a high-end Registry Set. Population: 13 in 62 (2 in 62+), 0 finer (6/21).
