Lot 1184
1874-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-50. An important example of this scarce Carson City Mint issue. Not the finest known, but then it won't be too terribly expensive then, either. However, for the grade, the buyer will obtain a coin that still retains much of the original mint luster on surfaces that have acquired a bright, orange-gold color. The technical aspects of the coin support the grade fully. Yes, the surfaces show signs of circulation, but the marks are all tiny, unobtrusive, or out of the way (like the mark below the final S in STATES on the reverse). The competition: 2 in PCGS AU-53, 2 in PCGS AU-55, and 1 in PCGS MS-63. Thus, even at the AU-50 level, this is one of the top ten examples known of the date! (PCGS # 8670) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
