Description
1875-CC Ten Dollar, AU50
Rare, Sought-After Issue
1875-CC $10 AU50 NGC. Variety 1-A, probably the only dies
for the date, although another variety is rumored. Many Carson City
issues of the 1870s can claim low mintages, some much smaller than
the 1875-CC eagle with its modest production total of 7,715 pieces.
However, the date remains one of the least available Carson City
tens. Doug Winter estimates a surviving population of just 65-75
examples in all grades, with only 6-7 specimens in AU
condition.The 1875-CC is notorious for its poor strike, especially on the obverse. The present coin is about average for the date, with weakness on the hair, facial features, and left stars. The reverse displays more detail, but wear shows more on the high points. The surfaces are an attractive medium greenish-gold, and abrasions are minimal for the grade. Census: 7 in 50, 12 finer (2/10).(Registry values: N7079)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265B, PCGS# 8673, GSID# 9481)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
