Description

1873-CC Eagle, XF45
65 to 85 Coins Extant

1873-CC $10 XF45 PCGS. Variety 2-B. The rarer die marriage for the issue with the second C in the mintmark under the fletching tip instead of beside it. Only 17,343 eagles were struck across all three operational mints in 1873, including 800 pieces at Philadelphia, 12,000 at San Francisco, and 4,543 at Carson City. All three issues are scarce to rare, but the 1873-CC commands the strongest collector demand because of its association with the ever-popular Nevada facility. Rusty Goe suspects that only 65 to 85 pieces survive, including this Choice XF representative with olive and reddish-gold surfaces. Abraded, as always, but showing good detail for the grade. Population: 11 in 45, 20 finer (8/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2655, PCGS# 8667, Greysheet# 9477)
