Probable Finest Known 1891-CC $10 Gold Eagle 1891-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 2-B. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC. As the highest graded example of the perennially popular 1891-CC ten-dollar gold issue to meet with CAC approval, this condition rarity MS-64 will be tremendously appealing to advanced CC-Mint gold enthusiasts and mintmarked type collectors. Beautiful satin to softly frosted surfaces 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 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. With coveted CAC approval, as above, this coin would serve as a centerpiece in even the finest gold cabinet.
