CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

1887 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. This iridescently toned Premium Gem offers frosty luster and excellent eye appeal, making it a very attractive representative of the issue. The coin is weakly detailed, however, particularly at Liberty’s head, and while visually appealing, a more sharply struck example would be required as a permanent coin for this set. Population: 22 in 66, 3 finer.
