1874-CC Liberty Eagle, AU55
Conditionally Elusive Early CC Issue

1874-CC $10 AU55 NGC. Winter 1-A. Despite a small mintage of 16,767 pieces, the 1874-CC Liberty eagle is not a great rarity in absolute terms, but it is conditionally elusive in high grade. Rusty Goe estimates about 275 to 300 coins survive in all grades, with 90 to 120 specimens in XF and AU grades combined, plus just two examples in Mint State. A single pair of dies was used to strike all the coins.

This impressive AU55 example exhibits only light wear on the well-detailed design elements, with most interior detail still intact. The orange-gold surfaces show the expected number of minor abrasions for the grade. This coin should find a home in a fine collection of Western gold. Census: 27 in 55 (3 in 55+ ), 4 finer (12/24).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2658, PCGS# 8670, Greysheet# 9479)
