Description

Desirable AU 1871-CC Dime

1871-CC 10C AU50 NGC. Rusty Goe, in The Mint on Carson Street, offers a caution on this issue: "Many of the lowest grade 1871-CC dimes are corroded, have surface etchings, are brushed or cleaned, or have been repaired; the lucky collector who finds a problem free circulated piece has found a true treasure." Such a treasure is offered here. Dusky rose and violet-gray surfaces retain hints of their original luster, and only trifling wear crosses the high points. A minimally marked and thoroughly pleasing survivor from this low-mintage early Carson City issue. Census: 2 in 50, 9 finer (3/09).
From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
