- Rare 1879-CC Liberty Head Eagle
1879-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. AU-50 (PCGS).
Here is a particularly attractive survivor of this rare, key date Carson City issue. Both sides exhibit sharp to full striking detail and appreciable satin luster. Warm honey-olive color throughout, with traces of pale pink and medium gold also evident.
With a tiny mintage of 1,762 pieces it is obvious that the 1879-CC Liberty Head eagle is highly elusive. Added pressure comes from the tremendous popularity of the Carson City Mint, which produced a significant number of great rarities for its limited time of operation. Perhaps 60 to 75 coins are extant in all grades (per Rusty Goe, 2020). The present example is among the finest certified by PCGS and of even further significance given that only a single Mint State specimen is known. An extraordinary opportunity for the astute connoisseur of Liberty Head gold or Carson City Mint coinage.
PCGS Population: 6; 12 finer (AU-58+ finest at this service).
PCGS# 8684. NGC ID: 265N.
