Lot 3369
1876-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Nice golden toning. Only 4,696 coins struck. Deep warm reddish to orange gold patina, somewhat prooflike in the protected areas around the stars and legends. What a formidable piece this must have been when first struck! Actually, it is quite beautiful now and stands front and center as one of the finer examples available to collectors (there are none graded higher by NGC). Of perhaps 100 or so believed to have survived from the original mintage, the usually found grade is Very Fine on the key date 1876-CC, and even then such pieces are seldom offered. Pop 3; none finer at either service (PCGS # 8675) .
Estimated Value $30,000 - 35,000.
Ex: Bass Collection.
