- Seldom Offered About Uncirculated 1875-CC Eagle
1875-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. AU-50 (NGC).
An elusive issue in all grades, the 1875-CC eagle represents a particularly significant find in About Uncirculated preservation. This is an attractive honey-olive example with a tinge of pale pink. Strike is a challenge for the issue, with the typical piece soft at the high points and featuring a faint CC mintmark. These qualities are evident here, but in the absence of extensive wear the overall detail is impressively bold for an 1875-CC ten. The mintmark is readily evident to the unaided eye. Free of distracting marks, there is much to recommend this coin to advanced gold enthusiasts.
As with all Carson City Mint eagles from the 1870s the 1875-CC (just 7,715 pieces produced) is scarce to rare at all levels of preservation. Rusty Goe (2020) accounts for just 100 to 135 survivors in all grades, more than half of which are no finer than VF. Mint State examples can be counted on one hand, attractive AUs such as this representing the finest realistically obtainable for most numismatists.
NGC Census: 8; 15 finer, two of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest).
PCGS# 8673. NGC ID: 265B.
