Lot 1566
1882-CC $10 Liberty. Sharpness of EF-45 but cleaned on the obverse. A very rare coin, with a paltry mintage of 6,764. The obverse has been cleaned with an abrasive, so myriad hairlines are now the rule, giving the coin a satiny appearance. On the reverse however, the fields retain some prooflike surface near the devices. Moderate handling marks, and some dark toning inside the shield and surrounding the wreath and arrows. One of those coins that will probably be improved, hopefully by someone more talented than the last attempt which resulted in the rather heavy hairlines.
