Description
1873-CC Ten Dollar, AU50
Appreciably Reflective Fields
A Significant Rarity
1873-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. Variety 2-B. Ex: Navy Mustang. This
is the rarer of the two recorded varieties of the 1873-CC eagle,
showing the mintmark low and right beneath the fletching. As a
date, the 1873-CC is a notable rarity, boasting a scant mintage of
only 4,543 coins. Rusty Goe, in The Confident Carson City Coin
Collectors, estimates that only 65 to 85 pieces survive in all
grades -- minutely more than the 1870-CC. In our experience, the
auction appearance rate of this issue is every bit as low as that
of the 1870-CC. No examples are known in Mint State.The Navy Mustang example is remarkably attractive, easily earning AU classification with smooth, satiny orange-gold and peach-yellow surfaces. The fields retain subtle reflectivity, which adds to the strong visual appeal. An example of this issue in a problem-free grade is rare, but such coins in AU condition are independently important. This is one of the most conditionally rare and significant offerings in the Navy Mustang collection. Population: 11 in 50, 9 finer (6/22).
