Challenging AU 1875-CC Ten Dollar

1875-CC $10 AU50 NGC. The Carson City ten dollar issues from the first decade of the Western facility are all rare to very rare. The 1875-CC certain belongs into the latter category, with only a handful of examples known at the AU level. Just 7,715 pieces were struck, and none were set aside by numismatists until decades later, by which time there were perhaps 200 survivors in all grades. This example has pleasing luster throughout the reverse legends, and the eagle's wingtips and Liberty's eyebrow show only slight rub. Best of all, there are no distracting abrasions. Census: 7 in 50, 12 finer (10/08).(Registry values: N7079)
