1872-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-B. Die State II. EF-40 (PCGS).
A lovely pinkish-honey example with undeniable originality to the surfaces. Traces of frosty luster remain in the protected areas around the design elements, emphasizing the gentle, even wear throughout. The coin is pleasingly smooth in hand, especially for the assigned grade, and sure to please the discerning numismatist.
The 1872-CC eagle had a low mintage that is historically listed as 4,600 pieces, though another 900 examples were coined earlier in the year, explaining Rusty Goe's (2020) mintage figure of 5,500 coins. Like other early date Carson City Mint eagles, this issue was neither heavily exported nor saw circulation in the East or Midwest. Rather, commercial use was confined to the American West, the only part of the country where gold coins remained in circulation for most of the 1870s. Only a single Mint State example has been certified (NGC MS-62), and the vast majority of the coins extant are in lower grades through VF. This lovely Extremely Fine survivor is a significant representative of this issue and it delivers eye appeal superior to what is typically found at this grade level.
