Description

1870-CC Eagle, Fine 12
The Most Famous Motto Issue
Important Carson City Key

1870-CC $10 Fine 12 PCGS. Variety 1-A. This Fine 12 example of the 1870-CC eagle had recently been discovered when it was first auctioned six years ago. This is only its second public appearance in nearly 150 years, and one of just 40 to 55 survivors. The 5,908 ten dollar gold pieces struck at the Carson City Mint in 1870 were the first eagles ever produced at that now-fabled facility. The coins were dispersed into local circulation, where they suffered a high rate of attrition, making any present day offering a significant event. This well-worn example features olive and reddish-gold color that specialists will appreciate. The date and mintmark are bold, as are outlines of the other major design elements. Moderately abraded, though none pose any serious distraction.
