Description

1890-CC Ten Dollar, MS62
Frosty Peach-Gold Surfaces
Rare Any Finer

1890-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. Variety 1-A. With a mintage of 17,500 coins, there is little surprise in finding that a single die marriage was used to strike the 1890-CC ten dollar. All known examples show die doubling north on IN GOD WE TRUST. This particular example also exhibits the sometimes-present die line below the A in STATES. Examples of this Carson City issue are collectible in lower grades. Survivors are moderately scarce in MS60 through MS62, becoming true condition rarities above that level. Only 12 grading events are numerically finer at PCGS (1/23). Each side of this peach-gold coin offers pleasing CC mint frost and bold design definition. Light chatter in the fields explains the grade, but eye appeal remains excellent.(Registry values: N2998)
