Description

1879-CC Ten Dollar, VF35
Perhaps the Rarest Carson City Ten

1879-CC $10 VF35 NGC. Variety 1-A. The 1879-CC has the lowest mintage of all Carson City ten dollar pieces, with only 1,762 pieces struck. Of that number only a small fraction survive, most of them in low grades. Only 40 to 50 pieces are known in all grades, with fewer than 10 examples in AU and a single Uncirculated coin known. Because of its absolute rarity, the 1879-CC ten is missing from most collections. This example is a perfectly balanced VF, hampered slightly by an oval-shaped scratch in the field to the left of the eagle. Census: 2 in 35, 30 finer (12/20).
