Description

1891-CC $10 MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. A low and even date identifies this variety. Dazzling cartwheel luster shines from the surfaces of this lemon-gold piece. The strike is outstanding, but scattered marks in the fields keep this piece from a Select designation. Only the slightest hint of softness is present above Liberty's ear and on the highest points of the eagle's wings. A popular, and relatively available type coin from one of the last years of the Carson City Mint. (Registry values: N1793)
