Description

Scarce Near-Mint 1884-CC Liberty Eagle

1884-CC $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A, the only known dies. Eagle production at the Carson City Mint fell to 9,925 coins in 1884 after 12,000 pieces had been produced in 1883. No more coins of this denomination would be delivered at the Nevada branch mint until 1890. The 1884-CC, of which 125-150 coins are believed extant in all grades, is an enigmatic issue among CC-mint Eagles from the 1880s. Whereas the 1880-CC, 1881-CC, 1882-CC, and 1883-CC are typically offered well struck, the 1884-CC is often seen with bluntness of detail over the central highpoints. All survivors of the '84-CC production also possess curious die lines that may be attempted cancel marks. While the present coin displays the latter features, it does not reveal any ill-defined devices. On the other hand, the overall detail is bold despite a little light rub, and the surfaces have survived the passage of time with relatively little evidence of coin-to-coin contact. Appealing to the eye with bright, semi-reflective luster in the protected areas.
