- Choice Mint State 1891-CC $10 1891-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A. MS-63+ (PCGS). As one of the finer certified examples of the perennially popular 1891-CC ten-dollar gold issue, this condition rarity PCGS MS-63+ will hold tremendous appeal for advanced CC-Mint gold enthusiasts and mintmarked type collectors. Beautiful satin to softly frosted surfaces also bathed in original color of vivid honey-rose. Razor sharp striking detail and an uncommonly smooth appearance enhance this coin's desirability. 103,732 eagles were struck in the penultimate year of the Carson City Mint's coining operations and, unlike for many issues in this mintmarked gold series, thousands were exported to Europe. Repatriations beginning in the second half of the 20th century have swelled the Mint State population to upward of 2,300 coins (per Rusty Goe, 2020). Most of these grade no finer than MS-62, at which levels the 1891-CC is a mainstay of Mint State gold type sets and CC-Mint collections. Scarce in MS-63, higher grade pieces are formidable condition rarities. This coin is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 4; 7 finer (all MS-64). PCGS# 8720. NGC ID: 266U. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
