Historical Significance
The Liberty Gold Eagle was a workhorse of American commerce during the late 19th century. The Carson City Mint, operating from 1870 to 1893, produced coins that reflect the spirit of the Wild West and the booming silver mining industry. Coins from this mint, identified by the "CC" mint mark, are particularly prized due to their lower mintage figures compared to their Philadelphia counterparts. This makes the 1871-CC edition especially desirable.
