The 1874-CC elusive in AU-58
Metal: Gold (0.900). Weight: 33.44 grams. Diametre: 34 mm.
The 1874-CC was the lowest mintage for this year in the three mint places. However, it remains the highest mintage of the Carson City mint with 115,085 pieces.
Therefore, the 1874-CC is quite easily obtainable in grades up to AU-53. The AU-58 becomes fairly elusive. Mint state is very rare and not higher than MS-62.
This one is a good opportunity for collectors to get a reference grade for this date.
