- 1879-CC Liberty Eagle. EF-40 (NGC). This is one of the rarest issues from the Liberty eagle series from the Carson City Mint and is comparable to the famed 1870-CC. Numismatic expert Rusty Goe estimates that between 70 and 85 exist today, while our own Q. David Bowers estimates an even lower number of 30 to 45 distinct specimens could be counted, with the average grade in Very Fine. There is but a single mint state example of this date. The mintage for the year came in at 1,762 pieces. The strike is fairly sharp but at this level wear has taken some of this away, notably on the highest of Liberty's curls and the eagle's wings. Examination of the surfaces finds average nicks and circulation marks, common to these larger gold coins, as they tended to circulate hard. On balance a reasonably wholesome example that has visual appeal and uniform orange-gold color throughout. PCGS# 8684. NGC Census: 11; 20 finer (Mint State-62 finest).
