- 1881-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome khaki-gold patina with iridescent pinkish-rose outlines to the devices. A sharply defined and lustrous Choice EF with solid eye appeal. It is the sign of the rarity of this mintmarked gold series that the 1881-CC, with just 24,015 pieces produced, ranks among the highest mintage Carson City Mint eagles. In his cataloging for our August 2012 sale of the Battle Born Collection of Carson City Mint Coinage, Rusty Goe estimates that 600 to 695 examples are extant in all grades. In the same catalog description, Q. David Bowers takes a more conservative view and allows for just 250 to 400 survivors. Regardless of which estimate is closer to the truth, one thing is for certain -- most 1881-CC eagles in numismatic hands are confined to lower circulated grades through EF-40. Minimally worn, and also attractively original, this is an upper end example that will appeal to both Liberty Head eagle and Carson City Mint enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8692. NGC ID: 265X. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
