Description

1875-CC Eagle, AU50
Highly Sought Old West Issue

1875-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. Winter 1-A. Wide CC mintmark. Only 100 eagles were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1875 and none at the San Francisco Mint, making this Carson City issue the sole reasonably available date representative for ten dollar gold collectors. This flashy orange-gold example is an ideal midgrade example of an underrated CC date, with only 100 to 135 gradable survivors plus perhaps two dozen impaired examples. This About Uncirculated example displays olive and reddish-gold accents throughout pleasing yellow-gold surfaces that a sharper strike than often seen for this strike-challenged issue. Moderate high-point wear determines the assigned grade. A scattering of small obverse marks include a intermittent curved abrasion on Liberty's brow, cheekbone, and chin. Luster remains around the obverse stars and within protected areas on both sides. PCGS Population: 6 in 50, 22 finer (12/24).(Registry values: N7079)
