Vivid deep honey-orange surfaces make a strong visual impression. Smartly impressed with sharp to nearly full striking detail throughout the design, abundant mint frost is also evident enhancing the coin's appeal.<p>The mintage for this scarce issue is just 42,565 pieces, a figure reduced by nearly 96,000 coins from the previous year's relatively high production mark at the Carson City Mint. Many were shipped overseas after they had circulated in regional commerce. Some 1,100 to 1,300 examples of the 1877-CC are known in all grades, per Rusty Goe (2020), who also asserts that just 20 to 25 of those are Mint State. This is one of our finer offerings for the issue at the Choice AU level of preservation, and it is a coin destined for an advanced collection of Carson City Mint or Liberty Head gold.
