Question goodevening can you please explain to me why the same 10 dollar golden eagle 1893 varies that much in value on the internet
and what is a piece in a pretty good condition word
greetings Fred Holland
Answer Fred,
Condition and mintmark are the two main contributing factors in the value of an 1893 gold eagle.
While a visibly worn coin will only be worth a little over its gold value (just under 1/2 ounce), an outstanding uncirculated example (MS-63 or higher) can be worth thousands.
Another major factor is if it has a "CC" mintmark on it -- meaning it was minted at the Carson City, Nevada mint. CC coins are lower mintages and very popular among collectors, so they command higher prices -- sometimes 10 times as much or more than a common mint for the same date.
