Description

1879-CC VF 35. This is the date with the lowest mintage of all CC Liberty eagles with only 1,762 struck. Even though it is considered to be slightly less rare than the 1870-CC, it is a date that is next to impossible to acquire. Most of the pieces that have been offered in the past few years are Fine and VF grades. This "top of the line" VF is not abused or abraded and shows only even wear. As is very common, there is some deeper, coppery toning visible on both sides.
