Lot 1748
1871-CC. PCGS graded AU-55. A lovely example with pleasing delicate sunset-golden toning. Only 8085 minted of which merely 1123 examples are estimated to have survived. Well struck with only the stars somewhat weak, with light even gold toning. Usual amount of light marks for the grade including a light chattermark on the neck below the chin. Elusive and quite costly as a high-end specimen in About Uncirculated, this lustrous looking example is free of annoying rim bumps and has only a few small tics in the field and elsewhere. The strike, which tends to vary on early CC-mint gold pieces, is well above par at the centers for the issue and both sides reveal copious amounts of luster within and hugging the main devices. Pop 4; 2 finer with 1 in 58, 1 in 62 (PCGS # 8661) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000.
