Description

1892-CC Eagle, MS61
Popular Carson City Type Coin

1892-CC $10 Tripled Die Reverse, FS-801, MS61 PCGS. Variety 1-A. PCGS calls this variety a Doubled Reverse Die (although the present piece has no designation or attribution on the holder), while NGC and the Cherrypickers' Guide suggest it is a Triple Reverse Die. The feature is best viewed at the motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, where certain features are clearly tripled.

From a mintage of 40,000 pieces, the 1892-CC eagle is an available date and enjoys great popularity with mintmark type collectors. The present coin is an attractive MS61 specimen, with brilliant luster, attractive color, and a crisp strike. Under a loupe, a scattering of small abrasions can be seen on the orange-gold surfaces, along with a single straight scrape across the cheek of Liberty. Clash marks are seen in the center reverse. Population: 11 in 61, 36 finer (3/16).
