Lot 1534
1873-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded VF-35. Another scarce one from Carson City, only 4,543 struck, with a survival rate of around one percent, it appears that the population of this date is around 50 coins today. This one is fairly nice for the grade, it does have moderate handling marks and a few stray scratches, but they are light and not distracting. There are a couple of very minor rim tick marks on the reverse, one above E of UNITED, and a couple of others above ER of AMERICA, these tick marks must have happened soon after the coin was struck, as the coin began to wear while in circulation, the rim marks have flattened out and are scarcely visible. Only 13 coins have been graded higher by PCGS, the best an AU-53, which makes this coin well worth a strong bid, there simply aren't many in appreciably higher grades.
