Not Sold Description
1878-CC $10 XF 40 NGC. With the second lowest mintage figure in the series of only 3,244 pieces, the 1878-CC is not surprisingly one of the rarest Carson City eagles. It, like many of its predecessors, is also known for poor striking details. At the XF 40 level, this coin is just outside the Condition Census for the issue with the top five pieces known tightly clustered in the XF 45 to AU 50 grade range. The surfaces are bright with a reddish tinge. The most noticeable surface flaws are a very shallow planchet flake out of the obverse next to star 2, and a small cluster of pinprick marks by star 4.
