Description
1880-CC Ten Dollar, MS62
Top Condition Census Coin
Possibly the Finest Extant
1880-CC $10 MS62 NGC. CAC. Variety 1-B. The first C in the
mintmark is almost entirely left of the N in TEN. This Carson City
issue has a relatively healthy mintage (11,190 coins) and
survivorship compared to many other dates from this mint and others
in the Liberty Head series, though it is by no means plentiful.
While the 1880-CC can usually be found in VF through AU grades
(average certified assessment is between XF45 and AU50), Mint State
representatives are extremely rare. This is one of only two coins
certified at this level (both NGC-graded), and there are none
finer. The other MS62 has not been endorsed by CAC.Bright mint luster radiates over this top Condition Census example. Both sides show distinct semiprooflikeness in the fields and the strongly defined relief elements are delicately frosted, especially the central obverse. Spindly die cracks encircle the reverse. Minimally marked. We would not be surprised to see this coin break the previous record for an 1880-CC ten. An MS61 PCGS coin realized $47,437.50 in our 2007 ANA Signature sale. Census: 2 in 62, 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 62, 0 finer (1/18).
