1871-CC Eagle, AU58
Bold Second-Year Example
Early Nevada Semikey

1871-CC $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. Carson City eagle production kicked off in 1870 with the opening of the facility. The Nevada mint's second year of operation saw a modest increase in ten dollar gold output, rising from 5,908 coins in 1870 to 8,085 coins in 1871. For reasons unknown, the 1871-CC is nearly twice as plentiful as its first-year counterpart and the key to the series. Nevertheless, only 100 to 120 examples survive and as few as two distinct coins are Uncirculated.

Each side of this Condition Census candidate shows bold design detail and rich orange-gold color. Superficial ticks and hairlines appear throughout, as always seen, but they do not detract in any way. Census: 8 in 58, 3 finer (8/22).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264X, PCGS# 8661, Greysheet# 9473)
