Lot 2551		1801 $10 Capped Bust. PCI graded MS-61. Well struck except for stars 1 and 2 which are a trifle weak as made.

Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 2552		1801 $10 Capped Bust. T-25. Rarity 3. PCGS graded AU-58. A well struck example, some softness appears on the stars and all on a problem-free planchet.

Plenty of golden-orange luster remains in the protected areas to easily justify this high grade. A total of 7 coins graded by PCGS. Pop of 1 with 4 in MS-62, 1 in MS-63 and 1 in MS-64 (PCGS # 88565) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 13,000. View details Check results on similar lots	Realized $13,800

Lot 2556		1846 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. A wonderful bold strike with semi reflective mint surfaces still adhering about the protected areas of the devices. Mintage of only 20,095.

View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $13,225
Lot 2557		1847-O $10 Liberty. Sharpness of MS-60. Light hairlines on both sides thus a net grade of AU-58 seems appropriate. Boldly struck and lightly toned with lots of mint luster still present. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. Ex James Kelly 1956 ANA Sale, lot 1798. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,093
Lot 2558		1850 $10 Liberty. Large date. NGC graded MS-62. Well struck with frosty mint surfaces that are semi-reflective. Very rare in strictly uncirculated condition as the population report clearly confirms. Pop of 4 with 4 in MS-63 and 1 in MS-64. While the 1850 Large Date is more common than the Small Date variety, this specimen is close to Condition Census for the variety. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,800. View details	Realized $5,463
Lot 2559		1851 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-61. A pleasing frosty mint example. Scarce "No Motto" type. Pop of 2 with only 2 higher, 1 in MS-62, 1 in MS-64 (PCGS # 8606) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500. From Coin Galleries August 1956 Mail Bid Sale, Lot 356. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,750

Lot 2561		1851-O $10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45. Well struck with some traces of luster remaining. We note some marks in the right obverse field. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details	Realized $1,438
Lot 2562		1871-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A nice even strike with plenty of luster still intact and rich golden-orange in color. This is a dazzling specimen of one of the scarcest of all Carson City issues. The early Carson City issues of the 1870s were distributed regionally rather than internationally thus surviving examples are virtually never seen in such high grade as this. In fact, the Eliasberg specimen was EF-40 and the Bass coin was AU-50, both well within the condition census for this date. Pop of 4 with 1 in MS-60 and 1 in MS-62. Estimated Value $23,000 - 25,000. View details	Realized $23,575
Lot 2563		1874 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. A notable rarity in the Proof eagle series, and the only Cameo Proof (in any grade) yet certified by PCGS. With an original mintage of only 20 pieces, one cannot hope to find a nicer or a prettier coin. The number of survivors is estimated to be around 10 pieces. This coin is easily identifiable by a spot of color on the obverse rim at 6:30 and a tinier spot just below Liberty's earlobe. It does not match the Trompeter or the Bass coin (which appeared twice); this one may be ex-Garrett. From 1997 to 2001, only four Proof 1874 Eagles appeared at auction, ranging in grade from Proof-60 to Proof-64. Thus, the opportunity to purchase a gem of this quality is almost rarer than the coin itself! Estimated Value $75,000 - 80,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 2564		1876-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. A very attractive example exhibiting a nice even strike, traces of mint luster in the protected areas about the peripheries and light golden-orange in color. Only 4,696 examples were struck this year and relatively few seem to have been exported, the result being most were probably melted. Today the population is very low as both major services attest to. When offered, the 1876-CC is usually found only in lower grades as Walter Breen comments, "Extremely rare above VF." Pop of 7 with 8 in AU-53, 2 in AU-55 and 2 in AU-58. Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000. View details	Unsold
Lot 2565		1878 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Bold, with semi-reflective surfaces. Seldom seen better (PCGS reports 19 in this grade, with only 19 finer). Light, milky toning over delicious, orange-yellow gold. For an MS-62, this piece sure has great eye appeal (PCGS # 8680) . Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.

Lot 2569		1881-CC $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. A marvelous Carson City eagle with lots of eye appeal. The strike is full and the surfaces abound with golden-orange mint luster. A very choice example for the grade and certainly one of the Finest Known specimens. Pop of 8 with none higher (PCGS # 8692) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000.

Lot 2595		1907 $10 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 65. A glittering Proof example of the last year of the Liberty Head type. Boldly struck from highly polished dies -- in fact, the reverse die was polished so heavily that some of the vertical lines in the shield have begun to thin out and the right tip of the scroll has been partially effaced. The obverse has traces of cameo contrast, the reverse more so, but this date rarely comes with the deep cameo finishes seen on earlier dates. This is a truly outstanding example, one of only 5 graded this nice by NGC. In fact, the only finer example of which we are aware is a lone PCGS Proof-66 Cameo, but that piece would bring considerably more than the estimate range we've placed on this beauty. In this case, you can purchase a coin that is nearly as nice at a far more attractive price. One of only 74 Proofs struck in this year. Estimated Value $21,000 - 23,000.

Lot 2597		1907 $10 Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. At first glance, this marvelous coin appears to be MS67. What PCGS sees to call it only MS64 would take some imagination thus our Premium Quality designation. The luster is booming, the strike is deep and full, and there appear to be zero abrasions. Hairlines? None apparent to this cataloguer. Best of all, the coin gleams with a simply exquisite, deep golden red color. Worth strong bids from knowing collectors! (PCGS # 8852) .

Lot 2598		1907 $10 Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A splendid well struck example exhibiting full natural mint bloom color and worthy of a gem classification (PCGS # 8852) .
