Liberty Eagles
1873-CC $10 XF45 NGC. Variety 2-A. It took until 1874 for annual eagle coinage at the Carson City Mint to break the five-figure barrier. In 1873, only 4,543 pieces were produced, and these were quickly absorbed by the local Nevada Territory economy, which was fueled by mining operations around the Comstock Lode. There are no known Mint State survivors, and the circulated population is only 60 to 80 coins. The typical example -- if there is a "typical" type with such a small population -- grades in the VF or XF range, and AU coins are exceedingly rare. Our Permanent Auction Archives show primarily appearances of XF-level coins. Recently, an XF45 PCGS coin in our January 2017 FUN Signature sale garnered $30,550. The present example shows luminous orange-gold patina and lightly marked surfaces. Wear is consistent with the grade. Census: 7 in 45, 15 finer (6/17).
