Description

1872-CC Fine 12. It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer this rare, Carson City eagle. Both sides exhibit rich golden color and show only even wear. Most of the troublesome abrasions so common to these coins are conspicuously missing. One tiny group of milling marks on Liberty's cheek are mentioned for pedigree purposes. An affordable opportunity to purchase this extreme rarity in U.S. gold coinage.
