1891-CC Ten Dollar, MS63
Ex: Pittman, FS-501

1891-CC/CC $10 FS-501 MS63 PCGS. CAC. Variety 4-C. Ex: Pittman-Bender. By a large margin, the 1891-CC is the most obtainable Carson City eagle in all grades. It is common through MS63. In MS64, however, this date is surprisingly scarce (only seven have been graded by PCGS). The only Gem known is an NGC MS65 that brought a record-setting $74,750 in Heritage's Long Beach Signature (9/2010), lot 5471; it later brought $58,500 in Stack's Bowers' ANA Auction (8/2012), lot 11036.

This example has a great pedigree and it is clearly nicer than the majority of 1891-CC eagles graded MS63. Sharp devices join lovely straw-gold luster that reveals only minimal abrasions.
Ex: John Jay Pittman Collection (Akers, 5/1998), lot 1970; Old West Collection (American Numismatic Rarities, 8/2006), lot 1357, where it sold for $7,188; The Harvey B. Jacobson, Jr. Collection of Liberty Eagles / Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2020), lot 3334, where it brought $7,800.
From The Bender Family Collection, Part I.
