Description

Difficult 1893-CC Eagle AU53

1893-CC $10 AU53 PCGS. In its final year of coining, Carson City struck only 14,000 eagles, only a fraction of the quantity produced in the two immediately preceding years. Examples are scarce in all grades, and only a handful of pieces have been certified as Mint State. This representative has seen light circulation, but the butter-gold surfaces display ample luster, and the only remotely relevant mark is a minor obverse rim nick at 3:30. In a green label holder. Population: 11 in 53, 47 finer (4/09).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2672, PCGS# 8726, GSID# 9516)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 16.72 grams
AGW: 0.48375oz
Mintage: 14,000
