Pleasing AU53 1875-CC Eagle

1875-CC $10 AU53 PCGS. With a mintage of 7,715 pieces, the 1875-CC is one of the more elusive Carson City eagle issues, and unlike certain others in that group, it is a condition rarity above XF. (Interestingly, it is the most available 1875-dated eagle issue, since its Philadelphia counterpart consists of just 100 business strikes and even fewer proofs.)
This attractive AU53 piece retains strong luster and mild reflectivity in the rich orange-gold fields. While the majority of known survivors show poor striking qualities in the centers, the present coin offers substantially above-average detail. Wispy abrasions in the fields and a near-vertical mark on Liberty's cheek contribute to the grade. Population: 8 in 53, 6 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265B, PCGS# 8673, Greysheet# 9481)
