<Our item number 119379><B>1872-CC &#36;10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45.</B> The light antique gold patina gives this piece the edge. A scrape in the left reverse field stands out. Comparing plates from earlier sale catalogs, this piece appears to be the specimen from the famous Harry Bass Sale II &#40;October 1999, Lot 1531&#41;. &#34;Slightly doubled reverse die with the doubling plainly visible at STA, this being designated as Breen-1671 and mentioned only casually -- as the aspect, while curious, does not measurably add to the value.&#34;<BR><BR>In their reference on Carson City coinage, Douglas Winter and Lawrence Cutler commented that &#34;the 1872-CC is one of the most underrated and undervalued coins struck at the Carson City Mint.&#34; Indeed, with a low mintage to begin with, and a low survival ratio, the comment stands. One of many important CC-mint gold pieces in the present sale <B>&#40;PCGS # 8664&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;10,000-12,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 119379<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN= "CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119379.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119379N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119379N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
