1874-CC Ten Dollar, AU53
Scarcest Issue for the Year

1874-CC $10 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Although fewer ten dollar gold coins were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1874 compared to the Carson City Mint (10,000 coins vs. 16,767), the 1874-CC is the rarer of the two, not to mention the more popular. Rusty Goe estimates 275 to 300 examples survive.

This is an attractive red-gold representative with flashy, eye-catching surfaces. A touch of blending occurs over the highest points, but design detail remains strong on the stars, portrait, feathers, shield, and talons. This AU53 coin is decidedly above-average for the issue. Population: 10 in 53, 15 finer (8/22).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2658, PCGS# 8670, Greysheet# 9479)

Weight: 16.72 grams
