- Rare 1879-CC Liberty Head Eagle 1879-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). Subtle silver-rose overtones enliven otherwise khaki-gold surfaces for this richly original piece. Both the amount of remaining detail and minimally marked appearance to the surfaces are superior in a survivor of this rare, key date issue. Appreciably lustrous and sure to please. With a tiny mintage of 1,762 pieces it is obvious that the 1879-CC Liberty Head eagle is going to be highly elusive in numismatic circles. 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 (as related by Rusty Goe, 2020), the present example among the finer certified by PCGS. An extraordinary opportunity for the astute connoisseur of Liberty Head gold and/or Carson City Mint coinage. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 15; 18 finer (AU-58+ finest at this service). PCGS# 8684. NGC ID: 265N. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
