- 1877-CC Liberty Eagle. Winter 1-A. VF-20 (PCGS). One of the most elusive issues in the CC-mint Eagle series, the 1877-CC actually vies with the 1873-CC as the fourth-rarest Ten from this fabled frontier-era coinage facility. A mere 3,332 coins were struck, and Doug Winter and Jim Halperin (Gold Coins of the Carson City Mint, 2001 edition) account for only 55-65 survivors in all grades. Presenting in an even brownish khaki-gold color, this is a problem-free Very Fine that is sure to arouse the interest of CC-mint gold collectors. Both sides reveal only the expected moderate wear from circulation, although the curls on Miss Liberty's neck almost disappear due to the softness of strike that is often associated with examples of the issue. There are no individually distracting marks or abrasions on the face or rims, and the overall appearance of the surfaces is actually quite smooth. This solid piece is sure to sell for a solid bid. As Douglas Winter notes, "An 1877-CC eagle with good eye appeal is very rare and in strong demand among specialists". PCGS# 8678. NGC ID: 265G. PCGS Population: 56; 49 finer to AU-58.
