This is the first time I’ve posted a photo of this attractive 1890-CC $10 Gold Liberty “In the Raw” that I purchased for only $350 about a quarter of a century ago, way back in November 2001. 😎
IMO It’s a borderline AU/MS with some light wipe mark hairline striations that the TPGS’s may not want to “Straight Grade”.
If not, I think it could potentially end up in an UNC Details holder.
I’d appreciate fellow forum members to please share your thoughts about this — Thanks!! 😃

I don't think it will straight grade but any CC gold is nice!
@Morgan White - Although it may not Straight Grade, it sure has the Eye Appeal of a Choice Mint State example in hand.
Carson City Eagles and Doubles Eagles are typically heavily bagmarked, while this coin is not.

unc details seems reasonable to me, based on these photos fwiw
There is a tremendous amount of glare in the images that makes interpreting them kind of dicey.

@TomB - Yes, I agree. I took the images quickly with an iPad, so they can certainly be improved upon.

Even if it doesn't straight grade, it's worth getting slabbed by one of the major grading services.
