Liberty Eagles
1871-CC $10 VF30 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Only about 100 1871-CC gold eagles are believed extant from a mintage of just 8,085. High-grade examples are out of reach for many collectors, although this upper-end VF coin is still accessible. The devices show light, even wear, and each side has original olive-gold toning with deeper coppery hues in the border recesses. Scattered abrasions are as expected for the grade and issue. Population: 8 in 30, 62 finer (2/17).
From The R. Thayer Sheets Yorktown Collection.
