详细说明

Significant AU 1874-CC Eagle 1874-CC Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (NGC). Warmly patinated khaki-gold surfaces display an uncommon degree or originality in a lightly circulated early date Carson City Mint eagle offered in today's market. Faint remnants of luster further enhance this coin's appeal, and they are most pronounced when viewed with the aid of direct lighting. The strike is a bit light in the centers, typical of the issue, but it sharpens considerably toward the borders and, in fact, is suitably bold overall. All gold coins struck at the Carson City Mint saw extensive use throughout the period. Production for the eagle reached 16,767 pieces at this facility in 1874, and with estimates for surviving examples ranging anywhere from 150 to 400 pieces, it is more available than most eagles from this mint but only in the lower circulated grade levels. Uncirculated specimens of this issue are excessively rare, represented by a solitary (and astonishing) MS-65 piece at this service. About Uncirculated examples such as this are noteworthy in their own right and vigorously pursued. An opportunity not to be missed. NGC Census: 18; 22 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-65). PCGS# 8670. NGC ID: 2658. Click here for certification details from NGC.
