- 1891-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 2-B. 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 display 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 at the Carson City Mint in 1891 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. With superior quality and eye appeal, this coin is sure to find its way into an advanced cabinet.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
PCGS# 8720. NGC ID: 266U.
