Rare 1871-CC AU53 Ten Dollar

1871-CC $10 AU53 NGC. The 1871-CC ten dollar is a very rare coin, especially in the higher levels of preservation. Even finding an Extremely Fine example is difficult, and About Uncirculated coins are an extreme challenge. Mint State pieces are virtually unobtainable, evidenced by just three examples having been certified by NGC and PCGS, all below MS63!
The yellow-gold surfaces of the present AU53 coin display traces of luster in the protected areas, and the design elements reveal nice definition. Evenly distributed light contact marks are scattered over each side, and a couple of minute dings are noted on the obverse rims.
From the Fern E. Wagner Trust.(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264X, PCGS# 8661, Greysheet# 9473)
