Elusive 1872-CC Eagle, XF45

1872-CC $10 XF45 PCGS. CAC. While the Carson City Mint in 1872 increased its double eagle output more than 50% over the previous year, from 17,387 to 26,900 coins, it simultaneously managed to roughly halve its eagle output compared to 1871, from 8,085 coins to 4,600 (Guide Book figure; Rusty Goe reports 5,500). To this day, both NGC and PCGS have yet to certify a single Mint State piece, although a handful of AU coins are known. This Choice XF specimen offers wonderfully lustrous orange-gold surfaces, tinged with amber at the rims, that show a few light abrasions consistent with a short spate in circulation. Population: 14 in 45, 10 finer (2/10).(Registry values: N4719)
