Lot 2137		$10 Indian. 1913-S. NGC graded MS-64 Premium Quality. One of the rarest dates of this series. Only 66,000 were coined and virtually all of these circulated or were later melted. Satiny luster and we note some golden hues intermixed over the luster. Identifiable by a tiny nick from the most forward claw point of the eagle up towards its knee, and an even tinier nick on Liberty's cheek well below her eye. A foremost rarity in mint state, as NGC has graded only 10 this high with a single coin graded higher! Similar at PCGS where they have graded only 11 as MS-64, with 3 higher. Given the combined populations, this coin is certainly in the top 25 of the date to survive. Estimated Value $30,000-UP. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
