Description
1876-CC Eagle, AU50
Scarce and Important Carson City Issue
1876-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. The 1876-CC eagle
had a paltry mintage of just 4,696 pieces, all of which was dumped
into circulation where it remained, for the most part, until the
coins were well-worn or completely lost. The typical survivor of
this issue, therefore, grades in the VF to XF range; AU coins are
decidedly rare, and none are known to survive in any condition that
can be labeled as Mint State by the grading services. The present
AU coin, with remnants of semiprooflike mirroring in the fields and
original orange-gold color, is undeniably of great importance to
the quality-conscious branch mint gold collector. Slight friction
leaves much detail to be appreciated, which complements traces of
luster in the border recesses. Another chance to bid on such an
appealing example of this date may be long in coming. Population:
11 in 50, 9 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265D, PCGS# 8675, Greysheet# 9482)
