Lot Description

Lot 1453 1873-CC. PCGS graded AU-53 PQ. CAC.Well struck with lovely light golden toning. The surfaces are satin smooth with just a couple of trivial bagmarks seen when closely examined. There is only a touch of wear on the high points of the design. This is one of the top ten examples graded by PCGS of this date and mint, to give you some idead of its overall quality and desirability. It is believed that about 70 examples of this date and mint exist in all grades, with this well far finer than the average example known. Needless to say this coin offers quite the opportunity for a specialist to put away a rarity that has long been off the market. Some mint luster within the protected areas about the devices. Only 7416 struck.Certainly looks better than the assigned grade given. A recent discovery and graded for the first time ever. Pop 2; 6 in 55; 1 in 61; 1 in 62 as finest(PCGS # 8331) Estimated Value $25,000 - UP Ex The America Collection.
