1882-CC Liberty Eagle, AU58
Exceptional Luster and Eye Appeal
In a Green Label Holder

1882-CC $10 AU58 PCGS. Variety 2-A. The 1882-CC eagle is mildly plentiful in XF and AU condition, but Uncirculated examples are extremely rare. The rarity of such pieces is such that we have only ever offered one other example besides the present piece, it appearing twice in 2014 and selling for more than $25,000. The present example, housed in a green label holder, is technically near-Mint, but the quality and eye appeal rival those of some Mint State-graded coins. Essentially full, frosty mint luster rolls over each side, illuminating yellow-gold interiors and deeper orange-gold peripheries. The strike is sharp, and portions of the fields exhibit semiprooflike reflectivity. The strike is sharp. A few scattered abrasions appear on each side, and a brush of rub on Liberty's cheek appears to be the grade-limiting factor. Population: 17 in 58, 3 finer (7/16).
