Important AU 1873-CC Eagle

1873-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. With just 4,543 pieces struck and a combined certified population that halts at AU55, the 1873-CC is one of several low-mintage Carson City eagle issues that is highly elusive today. Rusty Goe, in The Mint on Carson Street, wrote of "heavy local circulation around the Comstock region" that affected the 1873-CC, judging by "the inferior quality seen on practically all examples extant."
This gorgeous coin is one of the few exceptions, yellow-orange with strong luster remaining in the fields. Small, scattered abrasions pepper each side, and light wear crosses the softly struck high points, yet the piece's eye appeal has persisted to the present day. An excellent trophy for the Carson City enthusiast. PCGS has graded just three finer pieces (1/09).(Registry values: N7079)
