1871-CC. NGC graded AU Details, improperly cleaned. Light golden toning with faint hairlines, our grade is a pleasing EF-45. Only 8.085 coins struck. A very memorable coin for all concerned and certainly one for the specialist. The 1871-CC is quite scarce. Moreover, relatively few higher grade survivors are known from a mintage. It seems the 1871-CC is generally found only in well worn condition, with a low-end VF being the average coin encountered. The surfaces of this piece while cleaned are quite acceptable. The striking details are detailed on both sides, and in fact, show good strength in Liberty's hair waves as well as the eagle's neck feathers and plumage. This CC piece is sure to obtain a strong price and is certain to finally reside in one of the finer collections of Carson City gold (PCGS # 8661) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300.
