# 1870-CC Liberty Head Eagle Gold Coin PCGS VF35

An extraordinary and highly significant Carson City gold rarity from a legendary vintage mintage, this 1870-CC $10 Liberty Head Eagle represents an exceptional opportunity for the advanced numismatist and serious gold coin collector.

Struck at the legendary Carson City Mint during its early years, this *Liberty Head Eagle* emerges from an incredibly limited mintage of only 5,908 pieces. With an estimated surviving population of approximately 50 examples, this coin stands as one of the most challenging and desirable pre-1880 Carson City gold issues. The present PCGS VF35 specimen offers a remarkably well-preserved example of this extreme rarity, displaying considerable original detail despite its circulated state.

The coin exhibits characteristic features of early Carson City gold, including slight striking softness on the facial details and evidence of heavy bag marks typical of these challenging mint state coins. Its 90% gold composition and 26.8mm diameter represent the standard specifications for Liberty Head Eagles of this era. Notably, this piece is considered one of the two rarest Carson City Eagles, with condition rarity that potentially exceeds even its overall numerical scarcity.
