Exceptional Choice EF 1877-CC $10 Gold Eagle 1877-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. A remarkably attractive, thoroughly premium quality example of this highly elusive Carson City gold issue. Vivid deep orange surfaces are enhanced by iridescent reddish-rose outlines to many of the design elements. Boldly to sharply defined throughout with ample frosty to modestly reflective finish remaining on both sides. Worthy of the strongest bids. Ten-dollar gold eagle production remained low at the Carson City Mint in 1877 as the facility concentrated on subsidiary silver coinage as well as trade dollars and, to a lesser extant, double eagles. One of just 3,332 examples struck that year, this 1877-CC is a very attractive survivor of one of the rarest of the Carson City Mint eagles of 1870 to 1893. Fewer than 100 examples are believed extant, perhaps only 70 to 80 coins (the estimate advanced by Rusty Goe, 2020), and apart from an example described as "BU, prooflike" in Paramount's Rare Coin and Stamp List No. 8 of 1974 (apparently not certified in the modern coin market), this issue is unknown in Mint State. This delightful Choice EF is nicer than many certified About Uncirculated coins that your cataloger (JLA) has handled over the years, and it is sure to find its way into an important Liberty Head eagle or Carson City Mint gold collection.
