1879-CC AU 53 PCGS. This is the date with the lowest mintage of all CC Liberty eagles with only 1,762 struck. Even though it is considered to be slightly less rare than the 1870-CC, it is a date that is next to impossible to acquire. Most of the pieces that have been offered in the past few years are Fine and VF. An estimated 35-45 pieces are believed extant in all grades today. In AU the '79-CC is of the highest order of rarity, considered a high R.7 with only 4-5 pieces believed known. Listed in the Winters-Cutler reference as the fourth finest known, this piece might actually be raised in the condition census to third or second if a side-by-side comparison were made with this piece and the #2 and #3 coins. The fields retain some semi-reflectivity, giving the orange-gold color of the coin an underlying brightness and added eye appeal. Just a bit softly struck on the hair curls and on the left side of the eagle. A few marks distinguish this important coin. A hairline-thin scratch juts from the top of Liberty's head, a vertical mark is seen in the middle of Liberty's cheek, and a group of marks are noted in the field out from star 12. These latter abrasions are very similar to the plate coin in Akers' reference but close examination reveals their arrangement is slightly different. An important offering for the Carson City specialist.

1879-CC $10 AU58 NGC. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. Simply put, this is a rare coin. The Carson City Mint's delivery of Eagles in 1879 amounted to a mere 1,762 pieces, the lowest yearly output for not only this particular type, but for all gold coins produced at this branch mint. Surprisingly, the '79-CC is not the rarest Carson City Mint Ten. That honor belongs to the 1870-CC with just 35-45 coins believed extant. The 1879-CC comes in second place with only 40-50 coins known (per Winter and Halperin, 2001). Perhaps needless to say, this date is not common in any grade. However, most survivors are concentrated at or around the VF level of preservation. Winter and Halperin (Gold Coins of the Carson City Mint, 2001) list 14 About Uncirculated survivors in their Condition Census. Curiously, the present example is not specifically mentioned in that group, but it should definitely be included. Another AU58 NGC coin is mentioned, and that piece realized $30,800 as lot 621 in Stack's March 1995 sale of the James A. Stack Collection. To date, there are no 1879-CC Eagles certified Mint State by NGC or PCGS (10/02), and none are rumored to exist.

Fully prooflike in finish, this golden-rose survivor displays very little in terms of wear. The sharp definition benefits further from an above average strike: while at least one extant '79-CC Eagle exhibits excessive softness of detail in the centers, this coin displays ample evidence of a powerful impression throughout. The surfaces are noticeably scuffy from a short stint in circulation, but the only worthwhile pedigree markers are a pair of reverse reeding marks: the first is seen at the CA in AMERICA, while the second is in the field after and below those letters. The diagnostic Mint-made die scratch on the obverse through the BER in LIBERTY is evident under a loupe. We also note that the lower loop of the 9 in the date is filled, as is the first C in the CC mintmark. The first '79-CC Eagle above the AU53 level that (PCGS# 8684)

1879-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. With only 1,762 coins minted, this date has the lowest mintage of any Carson City Mint eagle, indeed, it is actually the lowest mintage gold coin produced at Carson City, regardless of denomination. This piece is a pleasing AU example with deep honey-gold color and considerable remaining luster on each side. The surfaces have the usual quota of tiny handling marks that are always seen on these pieces. Typical of most survivors, the strike is acceptable but not sharp. The present example misses the Condition Census for the issue, but it is still far finer than average. For example, the single piece in the Smithsonian Institution grades just VF25. Population: 8 in 50, 4 finer (11/06). (PCGS# 8684)
