Lot 1545
1877-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-40. A superb coin for the grade, lovely coppery toning around the periphery over lustrous surfaces. Moderate handling marks from circulation, but nothing heavy or annoying. Boldly struck and certain to please the date collector. Only 3,332 were struck, but as rare as the 1877 Philadelphia issue, however, the CC coins are far harder to find in grades above VF. This particular coin is much nicer than the EF 40 specimen recently offered in the Harry Bass sale, which had smoothed fields, that coin realized $7,475. This coin is certainly in the top few known for the date, with none graded in Mint State by either service.
