Description
1883-CC Ten Dollar, AU55
Undervalued Carson City Eagle
1883-CC $10 AU55 PCGS. Variety 1-A. The 1883-CC is the
scarcest of the five Carson City eagles made during the 1880s. It
is an underappreciated issue and many of the examples graded AU55
or even AU58 by the two services show weakness of strike and appear
to lack originality. An AU55 is about as nice as this issue
generally comes and an 1883-CC in AU58 is scarce. This date is rare
in Uncirculated with three or so pieces known, all in the MS60 to
MS61 grade range. Two PCGS MS61s were located in Europe a few years
ago and these brought $41,125 in the Winter Baltimore Auction
(Stack's Bowers, 10/2014), lot 10025, and an impressive $64,625 in
the 2013 New Orleans Auction (Stack's Bowers, 4/2013), lot
1360.Since June 2008, there have been just five auction records for this date in PCGS AU55, and only one of these (from Heritage's Dallas Signature, April 2017) could be termed "choice."
This attractive Choice AU specimen exhibits sharply detailed design elements, with just a trace of high-point wear. The lightly abraded yellow and greenish-gold surfaces are lustrous and appealing. In our opinion, this date is undervalued when compared to the 1880-CC, 1882-CC, and 1884-CC.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2006), lot 2007, where it realized $6,900.
