Description du lot

Glints of pale pinkish-rose iridescence enliven the bright honey-gold surfaces. This is a generally problem free, lightly circulated Carson City Mint eagle that retains plenty of bold to sharp strike detail throughout the design.<p>All gold coins struck at the Carson City Mint saw extensive use, especially those from the early and mid-1870s. Production for the eagle reached 16,767 pieces at this facility in 1874, and estimates for surviving examples range anywhere from 150 to 400 pieces. Rusty Goe provides the most up-to-date and (in our opinion) accurate estimate of 275 to 300 coins extant in his book <em>The Confident Carson City Coin Collector</em> (2020). More than half of the examples grade VF or lower, however, and with only two Mint State survivors accounted for, this scarce AU coin represents the finest realistically obtainable for many collectors.
