Description

1875-CC Liberty Head Eagle. AU Details--Harshly Cleaned (NGC).

Attractive for the assigned grade, the rarity and conditionally challenging nature of this issue is sure to result in keen bidder interest in this key date CC-mint ten. Both sides are generally well struck and retain bold to sharp detail in most areas. The obverse is retoning nicely with splashes of iridescent reddish-rose mingling with dominant honey-orange. The reverse, on the other hand, exhibits a lighter medium gold appearance. Uncommonly bright areas on the latter side are largely responsible for the NGC qualifier. As with all Carson City Mint eagles from the 1870s the 1875-CC (just 7,715 pieces produced) is scarce to rare at all levels of preservation, this being a somewhat more affordable, yet still significant AU survivor.

PCGS# 8673. NGC ID: 265B.
