Description
1873-CC Ten Dollar, VF25
Only 4,543 Coins Struck
1873-CC $10 VF25 PCGS. Variety 2-A. The 1873-CC ten dollar
gold piece (4,543 coins struck) is a rare issue in all grades. Only
65 to 85 examples are thought to exist, according to Rusty Goe, who
writes:"When the total output of a particular date-denomination is less than 5,000 pieces it is well-nigh an inevitability that its status as a rarity is guaranteed. Moreover, when it is somewhat well known that the total output was released into local and/or regional commercial channels for circulation and that the coins eventually wound up in melting cauldrons or simply got lost, it is no wonder that a very small extant supply remains."
This well-worn VF25 representative maintains good definition despite the finer points of the design showing an unsurprising degree of blending. Orange-gold surfaces exhibit reddish accents within the protected areas, while the exposed surfaces are predictably abraded.
