1882-CC Ten Dollar, Exceptional AU58

1882-CC $10 AU58 NGC. Variety 1-A. The only known variety. The 1882-CC ten dollar, from a small mintage of 6,764 pieces, is elusive in all grades, and is extremely rare in Mint State. That said, a hoard of 30 to 40 examples in XF40 to AU55 that entered the market in the mid 1990s has made the issue more available in those grade levels. The design elements exhibit an above-average strike, including the star centrils, Liberty's hair, and the eagle's plumage, areas that tend to be weak on most survivors. Yellow-gold surfaces are tinged with apricot and display fewer and less severe abrasions than typically seen. Housed in a former generation holder. Census: 27 in 58, 4 finer (2/14).
From the Collection of Donald E. Bently, sold for the benefit of the Bently Foundation.(Registry values: N2998)
