1871 Ten Dollar, AU Details
Rare Issue for Circulation

1871 $10 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NCS. AU Details. The 1871 is an unheralded rarity. Only 1,790 pieces were struck, and since collectors of the day purchased proofs, all went into circulation. None have been certified as Mint State by NGC. Similar in rarity to the 1870-CC but trades for less than one-tenth the price. This honey-gold example is well defined but both sides are thickly hairlined.
From the collection of Donald E. Bently, sold for the benefit of the Bently Foundation.(Registry values: N2998)
