Mint State 1881-CC $10 Gold 1881-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. A newcomer to the Mint State census for the issue, this is one of the finest 1881-CC eagles known. It is a noteworthy condition rarity with full, soft, frosty mint luster blanketing both sides. Pretty rose-orange color is also notable, as is razor sharp to full striking detail. Fully Uncirculated in preservation with an impressively smooth appearance for the assigned grade, the most discerning CC-Mint experts will be pleased with this piece. Even with a production of just 24,015 pieces, the 1881-CC still ranks among the highest mintage issues of this mintmarked gold type. Doug Winter (2001) speaks of a small hoard of AU and Mint State coins entering the market circa 1997 to 1998. However, this issue remains rare in Uncirculated preservation with Rusty Goe (2020) allowing for only about 30 examples at that level. The CC#1 coin is the remarkable Eliasberg-Battle Born Collection specimen, certified MS-64 by NGC and approved by CAC. Ranking just behind it, is the top-pop PCGS MS-63, also with CAC approval, from our recent sale of the Fairmont Collection's Hendricks Set. Possessing superior quality, undeniable originality and impressive rarity, this current offering from the Fairmont Collection will attract excitement when it crosses the auction block. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 16; 14 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 16 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 8692. NGC ID: 265X.
