Liberty Eagles
1877-CC $10 AU50 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1877-CC Liberty eagle claims a small mintage of 3,332 pieces. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the issue was seen with some frequency, suggesting a small hoard may have been dispersed at that time. The 1877-CC has been much more elusive since the late 1990s and PCGS CoinFacts estimates the surviving population at 60-75 examples in all grades today. No Mint State specimens have been certified, but David Akers reported seeing one coin that he graded Choice.
This impressive AU50 coin displays well-detailed design elements with a touch of wear on the high points, and a clash mark in the reverse field above the eagle's right (facing) wing. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces are lightly abraded for the grade, with a few traces of original mint luster on both sides. Altogether, an attractive representative of this rare branch mint issue. Census: 4 in 50, 8 finer (7/17).
