Low Mintage 1875-CC Ten-Dollar Gold 1875-CC Liberty Head Eagle. Winter 1-A, the only known dies. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome honey-olive surfaces with light toning in pretty pinkish-rose. Lustrous for the grade and exceptionally smooth overall, with bold detail to all but a few central high points. The CC mintmark is weakly impressed, characteristic of the issue, but it is readily evident even when the coin is viewed in hand. After a record (for that era) mintage of 16,767 pieces in 1874, the Carson City Mint delivered just 7,715 eagles in 1875, a number more in keeping with annual output from this branch mint throughout the 1870s. With domestic circulation in the western United States claiming most examples, the 1875-CC is now scarce to rare in all grades. Rusty Goe (2020) accounts for just 100 to 135 survivors, in fact, only one or two of which are Mint State. With examples at that level understandably out of reach for most collectors, this premium EF - rare in its own right - is a highly significant find that will certainly appeal to advanced Liberty Head gold collectors and Carson City Mint specialists. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. CAC Stickered Population: 14 in all grades (AU-55 highest graded). PCGS# 8673. NGC ID: 265B. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
