Liberty Eagles
1884-CC $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. Eagle production at the Carson City Mint fell to 9,925 coins in 1884. Perhaps 300 examples survive, and unlike other CC-mint eagles from the 1880s, the 1884-CC is often seen with bluntness of detail over the central high points. The issue also possesses curious die lines that may be attempted cancel marks. While the present coin displays the latter features, it lacks ill-defined devices. Overall detail is bold despite a trace of rub, and the surfaces have survived the passage of time with relatively little evidence of coin-to-coin contact. Appealing with bright, semireflective luster in the protected areas. Census: 28 in 58, 9 finer (7/17).
