Lot 1659
1872-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45. Lightly toned. Slightly lustrous and decidedly attractive with medium, soft orange-gold and pale rose haze over the surfaces. With the exception of a small but noticeable scuff mark in the field to the left of the eagle, this coin has very clean surfaces. This is unusual as most 1872-CC double eagles show heavy digs and abrasions.
As long-time collectors are aware, the 1872-CC is a little less scarce than the 1871-CC but it becomes an extremely challenging coin to find in the middle range of EF. In the highest ranges of this grade, of course, the 1872-CC is a very scarce coin and there are probably no more than a handful properly graded About Uncirculated examples currently known. Pop 11; 10 finer; 5 in 50; 1 in 53; 2 in 55; 2 in 58. (PCGS # 8664) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
