Description

1873-CC Eagle, VF35
Relatively Unabraded for the Grade
Challenging Low-Mintage Issue

1873-CC $10 VF35 NGC. Winter 2-B. This is the rarer of two varieties, showing the CC mintmark positioned beneath the feather tip, rather than the usually seen Winter 2-A with the mintmark left of the tip. Only 4,543 pieces were struck and this Choice VF coin is an ideal collector grade among the few dozen survivors. The strike is a bit soft on the high points of each side -- even so, most of the obverse stars, save for three, show some degree of detail in their radials. The deep orange-gold coloration complements surfaces that reveal relatively few abrasions amid the expected quotient of grade-consistent wear. It has been many years since we offered an example in this grade (this very coin). Alert bidders should be prepared.
