Description

1893-CC Liberty Head Eagle, MS61
Possible Condition Census Coin

1893-CC $10 MS61 NGC. The 1893-CC eagle boasts a low mintage of 14,000 pieces and the issue is scarce-to-rare in all grades. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of 165-215 total examples, with 6-8 specimens extant in Mint State. Current population data also indicates a minuscule number of Mint State coins, with NGC registering seven pieces in MS61, with two finer, while PCGS has certified only three coins in MS61, with two finer (7/10). The population data may be slightly distorted by resubmissions. Any coin graded MS61 could be a contender for Condition Census, since only four coins are known in higher numeric grades, with MS62 the finest.
The present coin is a pleasing Mint State specimen, with bright, slightly reflective, greenish-gold surfaces. The strike is especially sharp for an 1893-CC, which is often seen with weakly impressed details. This example displays crisp detail on the curls and star centers, and the eagle on the reverse is particularly sharp. All 1893-CC eagles exhibit a number of abrasions and contact marks and this coin is no exception, but only a cluster of minor, grade-consistent marks on Liberty's neck and cheek merit individual mention.(Registry values: N4719)
