Description

AU53 1893-CC Ten Dollar
An 'Inexplicable Rarity' From the 1890s

1893-CC $10 AU53 NGC. A surprisingly well detailed example for the grade, this piece also exhibits noticeable bits of luster, especially near the peripheral devices. Moderately worn over the high points with just a few small, scattered abrasions on each side. According to Garrett and Guth (2006): "The 1893-CC is an inexplicable rarity and is much more difficult to find than any other Carson City eagle from this decade."(Registry values: N1793)
