Popular 1891-CC Liberty Ten, MS62

1891-CC $10 MS62 NGC. From 1870 to 1893 the Carson City Mint produced 19 different issues in the Liberty eagle series, with mintages that ranged from a low of 1,762 pieces in 1879 to a high of 103,732 in 1891, the year of the present piece. That high mintage represents 34.6% of the total production of 299,778 coins, meaning that the 1891-CC is an ideal choice for the Carson City type collector. This example is a remarkable piece with frosty yellow luster and excellent design features. A few tiny abrasions on each side prevent a higher grade.(Registry values: N1793)
