Description

1881-CC $10 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NCS. Unc. Details. Variety 1-A. The only known die pair for 1881-CC eagles lasted for 24,015 strikes. Survivors are elusive. This pleasing Mint State piece has light yellow-gold surfaces with frosty mint luster and shows only a few faint hairlines on each side. An exceptional example despite the NCS disclaimer.
