Description
1879-CC Liberty Eagle, AU53+
Sought-After, Low-Mintage Issue
1879-CC $10 AU53+ NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1879-CC Liberty
eagle claims a low mintage of just 1,762 pieces, the lowest
production total for any gold coin ever struck at the famous
Western facility. The coins were all struck from a single pair of
dies and all show a diagnostic die line through the E in LIBERTY.
The coins were released into circulation at the time of issue and
few examples were saved by contemporary collectors. PCGS CoinFacts
estimates the surviving population of the 1879-CC at just 45-60
examples in all grades.The present coin is a Plus-graded AU53 specimen that shows some light wear on the well-detailed design elements., but the die line through E remains bold. The lightly abraded orange-gold surfaces retain traces of original mint luster and the overall presentation is quite pleasing. Census: 6 in 53 (1 in 53+), 10 finer (7/18).(Registry values: N7079)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265N, PCGS# 8684, Greysheet# 9488)
Weight: 16.72 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
