Losbeschreibung

1875-CC Liberty Head Eagle. VF-30 (PCGS). A richly toned honey-gold example with glints of iridescent reddish-rose evident as the surfaces dip into a light. While most examples of this challenging issue are softly struck, this piece is overall boldly defined, especially in the context of the assigned grade. In fact, wispy hairlines and a somewhat glossy texture suggest that PCGS net graded this otherwise EF coin to the Choice VF level to compensate for a light cleaning. 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, this being a somewhat more affordable, yet still aesthetically pleasing coin that is worthy of serious bidder consideration. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8673. NGC ID: 265B. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
