1891-CC $10 Liberty Head Gold Eagle – CACG MS63 – POP 1 – Carson City Gold
Offered here is a highly desirable 1891-CC Liberty Head $10 Gold Eagle, graded MS63 by CAC Grading. Struck at the historic Carson City Mint, this coin represents one of the most sought-after issues in the Liberty Head Eagle series, combining Old West history with strong collector demand.
Population 1 at CACG, with no other examples currently graded at this level by CACG. This makes it a standout piece for collectors seeking top-tier or low-population registry coins.
The 1891-CC issue carries a mintage of just 103,732 pieces, making it one of the more obtainable Carson City Eagles in Mint State, yet still scarce in higher grades. In MS63, this coin sits in the sweet spot for collectors—offering strong eye appeal with fewer marks than lower Mint State examples while remaining far more attainable than MS64 and above, which are significantly rarer.
This example displays attractive original luster with rich golden coloration. The surfaces show typical light contact marks for the grade, with solid overall eye appeal and strong detail throughout Liberty’s portrait and the reverse eagle. CACG certification further reinforces the quality and market confidence in this piece.
Designed by Christian Gobrecht, the obverse features Liberty surrounded by thirteen stars, while the reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with shield, arrows, and olive branch. The coin is composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, with an actual gold weight of approximately 0.4838 troy ounces.
Carson City gold coins remain among the most collectible in all of U.S. numismatics due to their limited production, frontier-era origins, and enduring popularity. The 1891-CC $10 is especially popular as a type coin and for Carson City mintmark collectors.
An excellent opportunity to acquire a POP 1 CACG Carson City gold eagle in a premium collector grade.
