详细说明: Scarce 1872-CC Eagle 1872-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. A marbled honey-gold color blankets each side of this attractive EF piece. Traces of satiny luster remain in the protected areas around the design elements, emphasizing the gentle, even wear throughout. The complexion is overall smooth in-hand, with just a few trivial marks to be noted under a glass. The 1872-CC eagle had a low mintage that is historically listed as 4,600 pieces, though another 900 examples may have been coined earlier in the year. Like other early Carson City Mint eagles, this issue was neither heavily exported nor saw circulation in the East or Midwest. Rather, commercial use was confined to the American West, the only part of the country where gold coins remained in circulation for most of the 1870s. No Mint State survivors have ever come to light, and the vast majority of the coins extant are in lower grades through VF. This lovely EF survivor is a significant representative of this issue and it delivers eye appeal superior to what is typically found at this grade level. PCGS# 8664. NGC ID: 2652.
