Description
1890-CC Eagle, MS62★
Seldom Finer, Partially Prooflike
1890-CC $10 MS62★ NGC. Variety 1-A. Partially prooflike
throughout both sides, this gleaming 1890-CC is a memorable example
of the small Carson City mintage. Just 17,500 eagles were struck.
The Garrett and Guth reference notes "A small percentage of 1890-CC
eagles are prooflike." This coin is more prooflike than not, with
attractive rich-gold color and a notably sharp strike. Light
abrasions scattered across the reflective surfaces, and account for
the assigned grade. The issue is seldom seen any finer than the
MS62 level, and this coin is the sole recipient of NGC's prized
Star designation for the grade. Census: 40 in 62 (2 in 62+, 1 in
62★ ), 8 finer (6/23).Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2019), lot 4891.(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 266S, PCGS# 8718, Greysheet# 9511)
Weight: 16.72 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
