1875-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Mostly untoned. This high quality 1875-CC is close to Condition Census with very few that are finer. The color is a still lustrous deep honey gold with plenty of frost in the protected areas. From a modest mintage for the date of 7,715 pieces, with most remaining specimens from that mintage grading Very Fine or so, this is by all rights one of the rarest Carson City eagles from the standpoint of pieces known and rarity.
The date logotype is nicely and evenly impressed, with digit 1 ever so slightly closer to neck truncation than to the dentils, while the digit 5 sits slightly closer to dentils than to neck. On the reverse, the CC mintmark is positioned somewhat to right, both letters over the N in TEN. First C placed midway between talons and N, second C mostly under tip of arrow feather, letters nicely spaced. Pop 7; 10 finer. (PCGS # 8673) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 17,000.
