1890-CC $10 AG03 PCGS CAC

POP 1 Lowest Graded. The 1890-CC $10 Liberty Head Eagle is a scarce Carson City gold issue struck during the first year that eagle production resumed at the Carson City Mint following a five-year hiatus. With a modest mintage of just 17,500 pieces and an estimated 600 survivors, the date has long been prized by collectors of Carson City gold. This charming low-ball example displays attractive medium orange and warm rose-gold coloration over smooth, original surfaces that reflect its long circulation while remaining free of significant distractions. Honest wear has softened the finer details, yet the major design elements remain bold enough to provide pleasing eye appeal and unmistakable Carson City character. With no prior auction records or sales history, this coin represents an elusive opportunity considering any CAC 1890-CC $10 would cost atleast $4,000 today. This would be perfect for collectors pursuing an advanced Low Ball Registry Set or a specialized Carson City gold collection. Its combination of rarity, originality, and historical significance makes it a highly desirable survivor of one of the most collectible branch mint gold issues of the Liberty Head Eagle series. This represents excellent value under $4,000.
