Description

1890-CC Liberty Eagle, MS61
Challenging Issue in Mint State

1890-CC $10 MS61 NGC. Winter 1-A. The Carson City Mint struck a modest mintage of 17,500 Liberty eagles in 1890 and few examples were saved for numismatic purposes. As might be expected, the 1890-CC is a scarce issue at the MS61 grade level, and finer coins are rare. This impressive MS61 example exhibits boldly detailed design elements and original mint luster throughout. The pleasing surfaces show the expected number of contact marks and luster grazes for the grade. Census: 95 in 61 (4 in 61+), 50 finer (10/25).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 266S, PCGS# 8718, Greysheet# 9511)

Weight: 16.72 grams
