1875-CC Liberty Eagle, AU53
Low-Mintage Branch Mint Issue

1875-CC $10 AU53 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1875-CC Liberty eagle claims a meager mintage of 7,715 pieces, and few examples were saved by contemporary collectors who had little interest in branch mint issues. Unfortunately, the 1875-CC was not a well-produced issue, and most examples seen are softly struck, with lackluster surfaces that became heavily abraded after being released into circulation. As might be expected, the 1875-CC is one of the most challenging issues in the series in high grade.

The present coin exhibits a better-than-average strike for the issue, with just a touch of the usual softness on the central reverse. The lightly abraded orange-gold surfaces show only light wear and much original mint luster remains intact. Population: 11 in 53, 11 finer. CAC: 3 in 53, 1 finer (10/17).(Registry values: N7079)

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