1872-CC Liberty Gold Eagle ($10) OGH

With a tiny mintage of just 4,600 pieces, this 1872-CC $10 is significantly scarcer than most other Liberty Eagles. Carson City gold coins from the 1870s continue to be among the most sought-after prizes in American numismatics, representing both the romance of the Old West and genuine rarity in today's market.

This XF45 example stands out with its rich honey-gold color and remarkably clean surfaces for a circulated CC gold piece. Despite moderate wear on the high points, the details remain crisp, particularly in Liberty's hair curls and the eagle's wing feathers. The CC mintmark is bold and well-defined. The honest wear pattern and absence of significant marks or abrasions give this coin exceptional eye appeal for the grade. The OGH package - the coin's home for 30+ years - is a fun bonus!
