Lot 1026
1873-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. A choice example for the grade, with ample luster in the fields to dazzle the eye and plenty of device detail on Liberty and the eagle. Fully struck by the dies and this one is very nice for the grade as the surfaces show minimal handling marks. This date is virtually impossible to locate in AU grades. NGC has awarded this AU-53 grade to just 4 specimens, with a single example graded higher, that the AU-58 Harry Bass Jr., example recently sold by Bowers and Merena Galleries. PCGS has a single coin graded as AU-53, and that service hasn't graded any higher than that! Certainly a condition census piece in this grade, and worthy of a most advanced Eagle or Carson City collection. Mintage ceased after 4,543 were struck, and most are found in much lower grades. A formost opportunity for the astute numismatist. In NGC holder #1273079-007.
Estimated Value $17,500-UP.
