Description

1876-CC Eagle, XF45
Only 100 to 125 Examples Known

1876-CC $10 XF45 PCGS. Variety 1-A. This date has a small mintage of 4,696 pieces but it is slightly more available than one might expect; still, only 100 to 125 examples are known. Many of the survivors are in low grades and there are a number of pieces in the XF40 to AU50 range. This date becomes rare in AU53 and it is very rare in the higher AU grades. There are just three coins known in PCGS AU58 (the last one of these to sell brought $57,500 in Stacks Bowers 2012 ANA), and there are no Uncirculated 1876-CC eagles.

Since the beginning of 2006, there have been five coins graded XF45 by PCGS that have sold at auction. The most recent sale is from the Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2014), lot 4204, which brought $10,575. This is a lovely piece with excellent surfaces for the grade. While minor abrasions are noted on both sides, they are entirely trivial and inconsequential. Yellow-gold luster is still visible in the protected areas, while faint orange toning remains, especially on the reverse.
From The Harvey B. Jacobson, Jr. Collection of Liberty Eagles. (Registry values: N4719)
