Description
1879-CC Ten Dollar, XF40
Lowest Mintage CC-Mint Eagle
1879-CC $10 XF40 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1879-CC has the
lowest mintage of any Carson City ten dollar issue. The emission of
1,762 pieces is less than one-third the production of the
first-year 1870-CC rarity. Needless to say, only a single die pair
is known. Nobody in the Old West collected eagles in 1879, and just
a small portion of the coinage remains. PCGS estimates only 45 to
60 survivors. This wheat-gold representative displays luster within
the plumage and other protected areas. The strike is above average,
and no marks are of singular significance. An important opportunity
to acquire a problem-free example of a very challenging Carson City
issue. Census: 11 in 40, 19 finer (3/21).From The Selman Family Collection. (Registry values: N4719)
