# 1877-CC Liberty Head Eagle Gold Coin. ## PCGS AU50 - Rare Carson City Mint Issue. This exceptional 1877-CC $10 Gold Eagle represents a significant numismatic treasure from the legendary Carson City Mint. Struck during a pivotal year in American coinage history, this *Liberty Head* design by Christian Gobrecht showcases the quintessential craftsmanship of late 19th-century American gold coinage. With a remarkably low original mintage of just 3,332 pieces, this particular coin is a prime example of the scarce Carson City gold issues. Graded PCGS AU50, the piece displays impressive preservation for its era, capturing the nuanced details of Liberty's portrait and the intricate reeded edge. The coin's 90% gold composition and classic design make it a highly desirable collectible for serious numismatists and Western Mint enthusiasts. Population data reveals the extreme rarity of this issue, with only 12 coins graded higher and a total of just 6 specimens documented. The 1877-CC Eagle is particularly notable for its relatively better state of preservation compared to earlier Carson City issues, with several specimens known in higher grades.
