Highlight of the entire Auction. Up for Auction is a Numismatic Rarity. A coin I have never seen in hand in any grade higher than VG. An 1872-cc Seated Liberty Dime. This example is a near TOP POP, with just 1 coin Graded Finer. This au58+ example is a True Numismatic Rarity. The same reverse die was used to strike all Carson City Mint Liberty Seated dimes dated 1871 to 1874. The present example was struck from the late state of this reverse die after it developed a light crack through the CC mintmark that extends into the right ribbon end. This crack is evident on late die state examples of the 1872-CC, as well as on all 1873-CC (No Arrows and Arrows) and 1874-CC dimes. Nicely toned, both sides exhibit olive-red and gold toning that encircle the entire reverse and obverse. Satiny in texture and outwardly smooth, a bold to sharp strike is also a praiseworthy attribute for this extremely important condition rarity. It is estimated that 60 examples exist in all grades with only 1 grading mint state. The lone Mint State example sold at auction three times in the last 20 years, in 2005, in an ms61 holder at $71,300, in 2012 for $184,000 in an ms63 holder and in 2015 for $182,125, in the same ms63 holder. The coin trends in au58 $45,000 and in ms63 $182,500. This is likely your only opportunity in the foreseeable future to acquire an 1872-cc of this caliber, as the finest is in a fairly permanent private collection. I wish you Good Luck. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
