Lot 3377
1884-CC $10 Liberty. AU-50. A well defined 1884-CC $10, which is something that rarely can be said about this scarce CC-mint date, and a coin that has only light surface abrasions from its venture into circulation. Several raised die lines on Liberty's neck are believed to be leftover chisel marks as produced by the Mint. Why they are there, and why the die maker forgot to remove them in time to send to the coiner, remains a mystery. A small production of the 9,925 pieces minted explains the continued demand from collectors for this issue (PCGS # 8704) .
Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700.
