<B>1880-CC $10 MS61 PCGS.</B></I> Despite a mintage of 11,190 pieces, substantial for a Carson City ten dollar gold issue, Mint State 1880-CC eagle survivors are condition rarities, largely because the pieces went directly into circulation, and practically none were stored or saved. One of only a handful of unworn representatives, this example offers considerable flashy luster and pleasing yellow-gold surfaces with glints of orange. The devices are well-defined, and the overall visual appeal is strong for the grade. If not for a number of wispy abrasions in the obverse fields and scattered marks on the reverse, the piece could have achieved a higher grade. Still, this remains a coin worthy of notice, tied for the finest certified by PCGS (7/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
