1875-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Volatile luster still visits the fields and nestles within the devices of the deep orange-yellow to warm golden toned surfaces. What also sparks our interest is the varying hues of gold that mingle broadly with richer toning accents. An attractive About Uncirculated that shows off its bold strike proudly (unusual for the often-weak 1875-CC Eagle rarity). All things considered, the present piece is a very pleasing example of this issue.
As with other early dates struck in Carson City, very few Eagle coins were produced. Authoritative early estimates placed the About Uncirculated population at as few as two pieces, but in recent years, a few more AUs have reached the grading services as old-line collections get turned over. The importance of the present opportunity, therefore, cannot be overstated! (PCGS # 8673) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
