Lot 1537
1874-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-50. Frosty luster in the fields and with comparatively light marks for a CC issue. The strike is the usual weak Carson City effort, with some softness on the upper devices. Extremely rare in this state of preservation, anything close to Very Fine is about the only grade usually offered, this stunning About Uncirculated will command attention whenever its sold. The recent PCGS AU 50 in the Bowers and Merena Bass Sale realized $9,200. One of the very finest in existence, and worth a exceptional bid. One of 7 so graded by PCGS, with only 3 graded higher in AU (all AU-55), and a single MS 63 specimen above. Thus, one of the very finest available of this scarce date, and probably unobtainable in higher grade with the number of serious Carson City collectors out there.
