1880-CC $10 Gold Eagle - Carson City Treasure - XF Details - NGC


Embark on a journey to the Wild West with this exceptional 1880-CC $10 Gold Eagle, minted at the historic Carson City Mint. Certified by the respected Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) with XF (Extremely Fine) Details, this coin promises not only a piece of American history but also a touch of the frontier spirit.


Key Features:
  • Date: 1880
  • Mint Mark: CC (Carson City Mint)
  • Denomination: $10
  • Certification: XF Details by NGC - This grade indicates the coin has been assessed but has minor issues not affecting the overall condition.


Description:
  • Obverse: Features Lady Liberty facing left, her hair flowing freely, a symbol of American liberty at the time. Encircled by 13 stars, she stands for the unity of the states, with the year "1880" below.
  • Reverse: The heraldic eagle, a hallmark of American coinage, grasps an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and readiness for defense. Above, "In God We Trust" is inscribed, and the coin's denomination and "CC" mint mark are clearly visible.
  • Condition: Despite the 'Details' notation, the coin retains much of its original detail, showing wear consistent with extensive handling but with the majority of the design still crisp. The 'CC' mint mark itself adds a layer of rarity and collectibility due to the Carson City Mint's brief and legendary production history.
  • Historical Context: The 1880-CC Gold Eagle was produced during a time when gold was king in the American West, particularly in Nevada where the Carson City Mint was operational to handle the gold rush influx.


Why This Coin Stands Out:
  • Rarity: Coins from the Carson City Mint are known for their limited mintage, making each piece a rare find.
  • Collector's Dream: Carson City issues are highly prized among collectors for their historical value, especially in gold denominations.
  • Investment: Gold coins from this era often appreciate in value, not just for their gold content but for their numismatic significance.
  • Authenticity and Trust: NGC certification confirms the coin's authenticity and provides insights into its condition, crucial for both collectors and investors.


Perfect For:
  • Collectors seeking coins with a story, particularly from the famous Carson City Mint.
  • Investors looking for a blend of intrinsic gold value with numismatic appeal.
  • Enthusiasts of American history, particularly the gold rush and the Old West.


Act Now: This 1880-CC $10 Gold Eagle is more than just a coin; it's a piece of tangible history from a bygone era, now within your reach. Its scarcity, the allure of the 'CC' mint mark, and its current condition make it an asset worth considering for any serious collection or investment portfolio. Secure this piece of the Old West before it rides off into someone else's collection.
