1882-CC $10 AU53 NGC. The Carson City Mint''s focus in
<B>1882-CC<$10> AU53 NGC.</B></I> The Carson City Mint's focus in 1882 shifted to double eagles and half eagles, coining more than 120,000 pieces of the two denominations. By contrast, the mint produced only a tad more than 6,700 eagles. AU pieces are quite scarce, and Uncirculated pieces are nearly unknown. This pretty orange-gold example has considerable luster that still clings to the surfaces, along with the normal light wear and moderate abrasions that characterize a fairly brief stint in circulation. A single scrape before Liberty's mouth requires mention but is neither deep nor distracting. Census: 18 in 53, 72 finer (9/06).
