Description

1880-CC Eagle, AU53
About 250 Coins Extant

1880-CC $10 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1-B. The tip of the fletching points to the second C in the mintmark, and a die crack travels through the tops of EN in TEN. This is a scarce-in-all-grades Carson City eagle issue for which Rusty Goe estimates a surviving population of 225 to 275 coins. A total of 11,190 pieces were originally struck, but the 1880-CC saw heavy use in Western commerce, explaining the low survivorship and average certified assessment that falls between XF45 and AU50. This wheat-gold example features green and reddish accents and strong remaining detail. Moderately marked surfaces deliver pleasing eye appeal.(Registry values: N1793)
