Sharply Struck 1890-CC Eagle, MS62

1890-CC $10 MS62 NGC. Only 17,500 ten dollar pieces were coined at the Carson City Mint in 1890. The issue becomes very difficult to locate above the MS62 level, the grade of the current offering. Yellow-gold surfaces exhibit sharply struck design features and present a nearly unbroken luster flow. Grade-limiting small marks are noted on each side. Census: 39 in 62, 11 finer (10/09).(Registry values: N2998)
