Description
1876-CC Ten Dollar, AU50
Outstanding Original Coloration
1876-CC $10 AU50 PCGS. CAC. Variety 1-A. Annual gold eagle
coinage at the Carson City Mint breached the five-figure barrier
(and barely) only four times prior to the 1885 to 1889 hiatus
during which the mint was shut down. Double eagles dominated large
denomination gold production from the Comstock Lode-fed branch mint
during this period. In 1876, only 4,696 tens were struck. This
issue circulated extensively and is unknown in Mint State today.
The present AU coin is conditionally rare. Blatantly original
surfaces yield glimpses of prooflike mirroring in the fields with
flashes of orange-gold color. Deeper olive-gold patina embraces the
lightly worn areas. Each side has scattered chatter, consistent
with the grade and issue. CAC-endorsed in a green label holder.
Population: 10 in 50, 10 finer. CAC: 2 in 50, 3 finer (11/16).From The Soluna Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
