1881-CC Eagle (1881-CC $10) PCGS AU50 CAC. 1881-CC $10 Liberty Head, With Motto. Carson City gold coins hold a special place in the hearts of collectors due to the romance and the history that is conjured up when one of these Old West relics is in hand. When this gold eagle was minted at the legendary Nevada mint, cowboys still roamed the region and the Colt .45 Peacemaker was still the great equalizer amongst men. This delightful and original example is quite lustrous and has a terrific fresh look to it.

The smooth surfaces are golden wheat in color with hints of amber and honey. Very well struck with strong detail, it certainly has the appearance of a higher grade specimen. The 1881-CC eagle is found frequently in circulated and about uncirculated grades but becomes quite scarce and desirable in full mint state, especially when choice pieces such as this are encountered. CAC has reviewed and approved this piece as well, attesting to the fact that it is very P.Q. for the assigned grade.
