- FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION This is a VERY RARE Carson City eagle, according to Garrett and Guth to be be rarer than the famed 1870-CC (which with its first year of issue status puts a strong demand on that date). The mintage figure cited by most sources is 4,600 though Rusty Goe's new reference on the series notes it being somewhat higher at 5,500 (still a tiny number). Even smaller is the number estimated to survive. Goe suggests 85-105 in all grades, others suggest 75-90. Regardless, this is clearly a VERY RARE coin, even more so properly graded by PCGS and bearing a CAC sticker. A delightful honey-gold and tangerine-amber gold patina graces both sides of this "GEM" XF. Mild, honest wear is seen in the fields and on the devices, the latter of which retains a bold definition from a forceful original blow from the dies. Copious quantities of glowing mint bloom is seen in the protected areas, enlivening the strong visual allure of both sides. Though we note some minor contact marks, these are ancient, well spaced, and none have a serious impact on the SUPERB eye appeal. PCGS 16, NGC 16, CAC 7. The last PCGS coin sold in January 2017 for $22,325 and it was not CAC approved. The last CAC-approved PCGS coin sold nearly a dozen years ago! The current Collectors Universe value is $26,000 and the CAC CPG value is $27,600. VERY RARE finer, with less than two dozen finer, including no doubt duplicate submissions, none of which are graded Mint State by PCGS. This beautifully toned and high end collector grade example will see very strong bidding when the hammer falls. We have no doubt that this coin will realize a record price for the grade. Good luck! Cert. Number 35687981 PCGS # 8664
