Lot 1255
1875-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. A hint of light gold toning. This high-grade 1875-CC is in the upper ranges of surviving specimens and is close to but not in the Condition Census with regard to NGC and PCGS graded coins. A coin with lustrous honey gold surfaces, it displays plenty of brightness in the protected areas. From a modest mintage for the date of 7,715 pieces, with most survivors from that mintage at Very Fine or so, this stands well ahead of a typical specimen. As further evidence of its importance, the Winter-Cutler book calls this date "one of the rarest Carson City eagles from the standpoint of pieces known and rarity." Pop 5; 9 finer. (PCGS # 8673) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000.
