1877-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. Winter 1-A. The 1877 Carson City branch mint Liberty Head eagle is a rare issue, with only 3,332 coins struck. The strike of this date is invariably soft, especially in the centers with the hair curls surrounding the ear, along with the reverse shield lines and eagle's feathers. This coin has central weakness in the strike, although the portrait facial design elements are well-formed. The Winter 1-A die pairing of this specimen is the variety usually seen, with the mintmark nearly touching the lowest arrow feather. One obverse working die was used to strike the 1877-CC ten dollar, and two reverse dies were used.

This representative of the 1877-CC eagle is a charming coin, predominantly wheat gold, with rich orange gold luster in sheltered areas of the surfaces. Only light wear on the high points with small contact marks consistent for the grade. The eye appeal is lovely, a wonderful example of the issue.
