Goldberg Coins and Collectibles



Sale 2


Lot 1769

Extremely Rare 1873-CC PCGS graded EF 40. PCGS graded EF-40. Here is a low mintage date in top condition. PCGS, for all its years grading coins, has only graded 2 as EF 40, with a token 3 graded higher. What happened to most of the 7,416 minted we can only guess. But out there they aren't. Years of scratching around in shipwrecks and under clap board sidewalks have failed to turn up more than a couple of these '73-CCs. Some luster adheres in the fields; and remarkably clean for the grade. As collectors soon learn, "CC" coins usually circulated very hard, and show value shaving-marks everywhere. Here is an exception, with relatively clean surfaces and no heavy marks. Don't wait for a better one to show up, they just don't exist.

 
Realized $8,050
