Still-Lustrous AU50 1873-CC Ten

1873-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. Bright yellow-gold luster with great all-around eye appeal. While the central portrait shows a combination of striking softness and light wear, the eagle is both sharper and better-preserved, though it also has a near-vertical abrasion across the horizontal stripes at the top of the shield. Liberty too has an abrasion at her temple and several more in the surrounding fields. Nonetheless, an appealing representative of this low-mintage issue, which is far more elusive than even its production of 4,543 pieces might suggest. Population: 10 in 50, 3 finer (11/10).
