Description
Impressive 1879-CC Liberty Head $10
1879-CC Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS).
A rare and desirable About Uncirculated example of this important Carson City Mint gold issue. Sharp striking detail and bountiful satin luster greet the viewer from both sides, which are further enhanced by handsome color in warm honey-olive. Subtle traces of lighter pink and medium gold shades are also evident and provide additional eye appeal. With a tiny mintage of 1,762 pieces it is obvious that the 1879-CC Liberty Head eagle is highly elusive. Added pressure comes from the tremendous popularity of the Carson City Mint, which produced a significant number of great rarities for its limited time of operation. Perhaps 60 to 75 coins are extant in all grades (per Rusty Goe, 2020). The present example is among the finest certified by PCGS and of even further significance given that only a single Mint State specimen is known. An extraordinary opportunity for the astute connoisseur of Liberty Head gold or Carson City Mint coinage.
PCGS# 8684. NGC ID: 265N.
PCGS Population: 6; 13 finer (AU-58+ finest at this service).
From the PentaMint Collection. Earlier from our Spring 2022 Auction, April, lot 3165.
