Lot Description

This impressive and conditionally scarce Mint State example possesses full striking detail and bountiful luster. Vivid pinkish-gold color adds to the eye appeal, as do uncommonly smooth surfaces.<p>Ten-dollar gold eagle production at the Carson City Mint remained high in 1892 (40,000 pieces) as the nation continued to churn out large numbers of such pieces to replace those lost to European export. Enough coins have survived that the 1892-CC is now widely regarded as the second most obtainable issue in this mintmarked gold series. It is, however, far scarcer than the 1891-CC in Mint State. The present offering is one of the nicest MS-61 examples that we have ever handled. It is a coin fit for inclusion in the finest gold cabinet or CC-Mint collection.
