- FROM THE BIG CYPRESS COLLECTION Ex. D.L. Hansen Collection, as noted on the insert. The Carson City mint issued a small number of eagles in its second year of operations. The traditionally reported mintage is 8,085, but noted Carson City mint scholar and expert, Rusty Goe; research enumerates a mintage of 7,185 in his extensive new reference on the coinage of the Carson City mint. Regardless of the number originally struck, the rarity remains the same with between 100-120 survivors exist in all grades, a sizable number of which have post mint issues that are serious enough to preclude grading. The present AU50 is a wonderful specimen of this important rarity. Despite some light wear and the contact marks that accompany the wear, the surfaces retain a wealth of mint brilliance. Sharply struck devices stand out nicely and have nearly full definition. The minor ticks and marks are widely scattered but they have minimal impact to the strong naked eye visual allure and only come into focus with the aid of a powerful loupe. The color is wonderful and rich honey-amber gold that really captivates the eye appeal. PCGS 10, NGC 7. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $24,000 and the most recent comparable example to sell was an NGC XF45 that brought $18,000 in the 2021 ANA auction. No PCGS AU50 has sold in nearly five years! VERY RARE any finer, this pleasing AU50 is way more than just a hole filler, this coin will fit nicely in ANY set of $10 Libs, CC mint gold, or any holding of rarities. Good luck! Cert. Number 82951015 PCGS # 8661
