1893-CC Ten Dollar, MS62
CAC, A Rare and Important Opportunity

1893-CC $10 MS62 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1893-CC is numismatically significant as the final eagle struck at the Carson City mint. There were only 14,000 pieces produced, and while this date is reasonably obtainable in all circulated grades, it is rare in mint condition with an estimated 10 pieces known. The finest are a small group of MS62s, and only three of these are PCGS-graded and CAC-certified:

1. MS62 PCGS. CAC. Regency Auction 30 (Legend, 1/2019), lot 433, where it brought $49,938.
2. MS62 PCGS. CAC. Northern California Collection; Douglas Winter Numismatics, 8/2019; DL Hansen Collection.
3. MS62 PCGS. CAC. Obtained by Harvey Jacobson from Douglas Winter Numismatics at the 2019 FUN show. The present example.



The current PCGS population of seven pieces in MS62 is incorrect as it appears that the coin sold in the Legend auction cited above was resubmitted a number of times. We are aware of just four 1893-CC eagles in PCGS MS62 (with none finer), and the Jacobson coin is likely the only example that will be available for a number of years to come.

This is among the more important coins in the entire collection as it combines condition rarity and attractive preservation in one neat package. Luster is satiny and original, yielding straw-gold and peach-lilac hues. The strike is sharp, and only light marks are apparent beneath a loupe.
