1880-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS).

1880-CC Liberty Head Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). Lustrous for the grade with warm honey-rose color, both sides also retain bold to sharp strike detail in most areas. The waning fortunes of the Carson City Mint continued into 1880, and the facility did not commence coinage operations until May. However, enough gold bullion was available to allow for a mintage of 11,190 eagles by year's end. This is the highest yearly output for this denomination in Carson City since 1874, and the 1880-CC ranks as one of the more frequently encountered CC-Mint eagles. It is particularly popular for CC-Min type purposes, as such, especially among advanced collectors seeking to avoid the far more common 1891-CC. Provenance: From the Bryan C. Tipton Collection. PCGS# 8688. NGC ID: 265T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
