Description
1890-CC Eagle, MS62+
Frosty Peach-Orange Surfaces
Great Nevada Mint Type Coin
1890-CC $10 MS62+ NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1890-CC has a
reputation for being a great type-coin issue. The Nevada mint
manufactured 17,500 eagles in 1890, and Rusty Goe (2020) estimates
that 550 to 650 of them still survive. That includes 150 to 187
examples in Mint State, though few surpass this esteemed grade
level. Goe notes that coins in this grade (without the Plus
designation) "typically possess attractive color, have moderate to
radiant luster, and are nearly fully struck on their highpoints."
That is certainly true here. Indeed, mint frost swirls uninhibited
over delightful peach-orange surfaces. Perhaps the only trait
standing in the way of a full Select assessment is the presence of
a spot of "vault grease" on Liberty's cheek, though to this
cataloger's mind it speaks to the coin's originality. Census: 41 in
62 (2 in 62+, 1 in 62★ ), 8 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 266S, PCGS# 8718, Greysheet# 9511)
