Liberty Eagles
1872-CC $10 XF45 PCGS. Variety 1-B. Gold eagle production at the infant Carson City Mint in 1872 was nearly half that of the paltry mintage of the previous year at just 4,600 pieces. No examples of the issue are known to survive in Mint State, and circulated coins number only in the 75- to 90-coin range, with AU pieces being exceedingly rare. The Nevada Territory in the early 1870s was in the throes of a mining boom similar to that experienced by San Francisco a couple of decades earlier, and what gold and silver coinage the branch mint in Carson City did produce experienced extensive and abusive circulation.
This Choice XF 1872-CC eagle displays bold devices and original orange-gold coloration that delivers hints of luster in the fields. The surfaces are unusually and attractively smooth, showing minimal abrasions. Eye appeal excels. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 18 in 45 (1 in 45+), 18 finer (10/16).
From The Soluna Collection.
