Description

1882-CC Ten Dollar, AU58
Glowing Red-Gold Surfaces
Rare Any Finer

1882-CC $10 AU58 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Ex: Hall-Bender. The only known die variety with misplaced date digits in the dentils below the 8s. Rusty Goe estimates that 160 to 190 examples of the 1882-CC eagle survive from an original mintage of 6,764 coins. Just four or five of those remain Uncirculated, and in AU58, "an estimate of twenty-five to (at most) twenty-eight seems very reasonable."

Glowing frosty luster emerges from the hidden areas of the design around this near-Mint Carson City eagle. Original red-gold color and remarkably strong design definition contributed to the coin's CAC endorsement. Scattered ticks are all trivial in nature.
Ex: David Hall Collection of Coronet Eagles (5/2011); Legend Numismatics.
