Scarce, Low-Mintage 1878-CC Ten, XF40

1878-CC $10 XF40 NGC. With the second-lowest mintage figure in the series of only 3,244 pieces, it is not surprising that the 1878-CC is one of the rarest Carson City eagles. It, like many of its predecessors, is also known for poor striking details. At the XF40 level, this coin is just outside the Condition Census for the issue, with most examples typically grading VF. The surfaces are bright with a reddish tinge. The most noticeable surface flaws are a shallow planchet flake out of the obverse next to star 2, and a small cluster of pinprick marks by star 4.(Registry values: N4719)
