Description
1875-CC Eagle, AU55
Highly Sought-After Nevada Rarity
1875-CC $10 AU55 PCGS. Variety 2-B. Ex: Nevada Collection.
Narrow CC mintmark. Production of eagles was limited to the
Pennsylvania and Nevada facilities in 1875. The Philadelphia Mint
manufactured the lowest total in the series that year (100 coins),
while Carson City employees accomplished a mintage of 7,715 ten
dollar gold coins. There are no S-mint eagles to be had, forcing
collectors turn to the 1875-CC to fill the challenging hole in
their sets. An estimated 100 to 120 coins survive in all grades.
This piece served as the plate coin in Doug Winter's Gold Coins
of the Carson City Mint (2001), where he listed it as tied for
first on the Condition Census. Several higher-graded examples have
since been submitted to PCGS and NGC, but this remains an important
representative of this famous rarity.Pedigree marks include an alloy spot in the field left of the bust tip and an impurity streak across the eagle's shield and right (facing) wing. Typically struck with myriad abrasions on each side, this Choice About Uncirculated eagle has lovely orange and lilac coloration. Population: 9 in 55, 2 finer (10/16).
