Description

Desirable 1878-CC Eagle

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. The surfaces of this coin 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.
