Description

1876-CC Eagle, AU50
Minimally Marked Light-Gold Surfaces

1876-CC $10 AU50 NGC. Winter 1-A. It understandably required only a single die pair to strike the 4,696 coins produced of this issue. Despite the small mintage, the 1876-CC survives to an abnormally large percentage approaching 4% of those pieces, according to Carson City coinage researcher-dealer Rusty Goe. The ample survival is likely due to the Centennial date, although other unknown factors may also be at play. Light yellow-gold surfaces boast generous remaining luster and a smattering of light field chatter, but there are no major marks. The About Uncirculated surfaces retain a light outline of red around the devices. This is an elusive Carson City issue in this grade and seldom seen finer. NGC Census: 11 in 50, 27 finer (12/24).
