1874-CC Liberty Head Eagle. VF-35 (PCGS). CAC. Original light honey patina greets the viewer from both sides of this boldly defined mid grade example. This is an uncommonly smooth and problem free coin in a Carson City Mint eagle that saw considerable commercial use, a significant find for the advanced gold specialist. From a mintage of 16,767 pieces, circulated survivors of which are scarce and number just 150 to 225 coins in all grades (per Q. David Bowers, 2012). Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection.
