Description

# 1877-CC Liberty Head Gold Eagle - PCGS AU50. An exceptional Carson City Gold Eagle from a legendary low-mintage year, this 1877-CC $10 represents a prized opportunity for the advanced numismatist and Western Mint specialist. Struck at the renowned Carson City Mint during a pivotal period in American coinage, this specimen bears the coveted *CC* mintmark and offers remarkable historical significance. With only 3,332 coins originally minted, this Liberty Head Eagle is among the scarcer issues from the Carson City Mint's gold production. The present *PCGS AU50* example displays the characteristic soft strike typical of CC-mint Eagles from this era, with particular nuance around Liberty's hair details. Despite its moderate circulation, the coin retains substantial original luster and sharp peripheral elements, testament to careful preservation over nearly 150 years. Composed of 90% gold and 10% copper, this coin weighs 16.7 grams and measures 26.8mm in diameter. The reeded edge and Christian Gobrecht's elegant Liberty Head design showcase the refined minting techniques of the late 19th century. With only 12 examples graded higher by PCGS, this specimen represents a significant opportunity for collectors seeking a representative example of this historically important gold issue.
