LRCA is proud to offer this important Carson City Eagle. Tied for FINEST graded at either service, it is a remarkable, CHOICE Mint State piece that has a spectacular look. Of the original 14,000 minted in this final year of operations at the Carson City mint, PCGS CoinFacts estimates that 325 examples survive in all grades, while noted Carson City expert Rusty Goe estimated 365-425 in his cataloging notes in the 2012 catalog of the Battle Born Collection. Regardless, today PCGS has graded exactly 13 examples in any Mint State grade, with the present MS62 ranking at the top of the Population Report with six other submissions. David Akers wrote in his United Sates Gold Coins: An Analysis of Auction Records, "In my opinion, the 1893-CC is the most underrated Carson City Mint Eagle. It is rare in any condition, comparable overall to the 1881-CC and even more difficult to obtain in Uncirculated condition...Most known specimens grade VF or EF." We love the eye appeal of this impressive CHOICE Mint State eagle. Wonderfully satin-like luster blooms all throughout the totally ORIGINAL "dirty" orange-apricot and olive tinged surfaces. Bands of brilliant cartwheel luster roll all along the fields and devices. The design elements are all crisp and sharp in strike. While we note a few minor ticks and marks that account for the assigned grade, none are singularly distracting. The eye appeal is truly spectacular; we cannot imagine a nicer or more original looking Mint State example existing, as many rare date gold coins have been dipped, scrubbed, cleaned or otherwise conserved to try and get a higher numeric grade; this stunning coin is NOT one of those! PCGS 7, NGC 2, CAC 4. NONE ARE GRADED FINER at either service! The only example to sell in auction was the non-CAC Battle Born Collection coin, which realized $32,900 in the 2012 ANA auction. Prior to that, it brought $37,950 in October 2005. The current Collector's Universe value is $38,500 and as the ONLY CAC-approved example to appear in auction, we suspect that level will be exceeded. With rare date Liberty Head eagles finally beginning to get some respect in the market, we know this tied for FINEST will attract very strong bidding. Good luck! Cert. Number 36836789 PCGS # 8726
