Lot 1574
1884-CC $10 Liberty. EF-40. A lovely example of the ever-popular "cancelled obverse" die, in which someone at the Carson City Mint apparently cancelled the obverse die by pounding a chisel into Liberty's face and neck. These chisel marks were partially effaced, but can still be seen on Liberty in several places, most prominently on her neck. Others are visible just in front of her eye, touching the I and T of LIBERTY. Only 9,925 struck, enough to make this available for collectors. Problem-free and a delight to behold.
