Owner's Comments

1884-CC $10 AU58 PCGS. Variety 1-A. Ex: Rian's Bequest. Only nine to 11 1884-CC ten dollar gold pieces are believed to exist in Uncirculated condition, according to Rusty Goe. This AU58 offering is an ideal near-Mint alternative and one of probably just 200 to 235 pieces known for the 1884-CC eagle in total. Only 9,925 examples were originally struck, and nearly all of them have been lost through attrition. Those that survive are typically well-circulated. This piece is partly lustrous with mostly complete star radials and strong definition on the eagle's feathers, talons, and fletchings. Orange-gold surfaces are lightly marked with a touch of semireflectivity in the fields. Population: 28 in 58 (1 in 58+), 8 finer (11/21).
