- Historic Final Year 1893-CC $10 Gold 1893-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Tied for CC#1 for this historic Carson City Mint eagle, this beautiful coin really needs to be seen to be appreciated. The surfaces are exceptionally well preserved with only a few small, singularly inconspicuous handling marks precluding a Choice Mint State rating. Intensely lustrous with a frosty texture, along with a razor sharp strike and vivid pinkish-honey color. Only 14,000 eagles were struck during the final year of coinage operations at the Carson City Mint. Unlike the 1891-CC, for which a fair number of examples found their way into overseas shipments of United States gold coins, the 1893-CC seems to have followed the usual path for Carson City Mint gold coinage: domestic circulation in the American West. Indeed, the typical example offered in old time collections was well worn in grades such as VF. Modern repatriations from foreign bank hoards have yielded few 1893-CC eagles; the issue remains scarce in About Uncirculated condition and rare in Mint State. In his excellent reference The Confident Carson City Coin Collector(2020), Carson City Mint expert Rusty Goe estimated that only 15 to 19 different examples can be accounted for in all Uncirculated grades. The finest of these have been certified MS-62 by PCGS or NGC, and with CAC approval the Fairmont Collection specimen offered here is at the very top of this select group. Ideally suited for inclusion in an advanced collection of CC-Mint or Liberty Head gold. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 6; 0 finer. CAC Population: 5; 0.
