1871-CC $10 VG10 OGH PCGS CAC

The 1871-CC $10 eagle is special because of it's connection to the famous Comstock Lode, one of the richest silver discoveries in American history. The gold and silver wealth from this mining boom led to the establishment of the Carson City Mint, and coins bearing the “CC” mintmark have become some of the most sought-after pieces in U.S. numismatics due to their strong Old West history. This 1871-CC Liberty Head $10 Eagle, Type 3 With Motto, housed in an original green-label holder combines honest circulation character with strong visual integrity on both sides. Struck from a tiny mintage of just 8,085 pieces with an estimated 113 survivors today, this issue stands among the most elusive in the Liberty Head Eagle series, and with a CAC population of only 1 approved example and 12 finer, the present coin represents a significant opportunity. Attractive, authentic, and seldom encountered, it offers meaningful appeal for the Carson City specialist or the advanced collector seeking a distinctive and historically grounded addition to a U.S. gold type set.
