Rare High Grade 1870-CC Ten Dollar, XF40 PCGS

1870-CC $10 XF40 PCGS. Variety 1-A. According to noted branch mint gold expert Douglas Winter, the 1870-CC is not only the rarest Carson City Eagle, but is eclipsed only by the 1870-CC Double Eagle as the rarest gold issue from that mint. Only 5,908 pieces were struck. Most survivors circulated heavily, and the majority are in VF or lower grades. Relatively sharp for the grade, with pleasing plumage detail within the wings, the surfaces appear excessively bright. Myriad small and medium-sized marks are concentrated over each side, a common occurrence on CC gold coins. We encourage a personal inspection by all interested bidders.(#8658) (Registry values: N7079)
