Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 2415		1907 $10 Gold Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. At first glance, this marvelous coin appears to be MS-67. What PCGS sees to call it only MS-64 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) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,325
Lot 2416		1907 $10 Gold Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-63. A lovely rich golden example with ample luster and delicate granularity.

Lot 2418		1908 $10 Gold Indian. No motto. PCGS graded MS-62. A nice mixture of satiny surfaces with a light frosty appearance. Rich yellow gold surfaces that are well struck and lustrous. A small mark on the top of the cheek and a few ticks here and there but choice for the grade. Only 33,500 eagles were produced of this design and mint state pieces are scarce.

Areas of obverse strike weakness in the hair right of ear and feathers, a common occurrence as noted by David Akers in his work on 20th Century gold. A small curved scuff mark just below chin in field. A rare issue in MS-62 to MS-63, very rare in MS64 and excessively rare above. Mintage of 210,000. PCGS has graded 45 in MS-63, 25 in MS-64, 2 in MS-65 and 5 in MS-66 as finest (PCGS # 8854) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.

Estimated Value $850 - 950. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,760
Lot 2424		1908-S $10 Gold Indian. With motto. PCGS graded MS-62. A wonderfully fresh, original and crisp example of this scarce Indian Head eagle. Only 59,850 pieces were struck this year and any choice uncirculated example is a good buy. The present example has microgranular surfaces with all-encompassing radial luster. Surfaces are a deep orange-gold while the cheek is lighter yellow gold in appearance. Two small nicks on the cheek are the only thing keeping this piece out of a n MS-63 holder. The 1908-S is scarce to rare in any mint state grade and the present example gives one the chance to purchase an extremely choice piece before getting into the more expensive grades. Housed in an old PCGS green label holder. PCGS has graded only 36 in MS-62 with only 84 higher (PCGS # 8861) . Estimated Value $2,100 - 2,300. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,795
Lot 2425		1909 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-61. A relatively easy issue to find up to MS63 but very tough in any grade higher. While this may be true, the 1909 is one of the scarcer Philadelphia issues (PCGS # 8862) . Estimated Value $375 - 400. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $489
Lot 2426		1909-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-60. A choice uncirculated example of this tough issue. The surfaces possess a satiny blend of orange gold with steel highlights. While a few tick marks exist on the cheek, neck and reverse, this piece is substantially finer than the assigned grade. This is an issue that is known to come well struck and the present example is no exception. The 1909-D can be difficult to locate in grades higher than MS-62 and any choice uncirculated example is a good buying opportunity. Estimated Value $400 - 440. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $719
Lot 2427		1909-S $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. A tough date in pleasing MS-62 and above. Well struck with LIBERTY boldly defined. Rich luster over surfaces that are finely granular and coppery gold in color. Identified by a faint hairline scratch under stars 4 & 5. Only 292,350 eagles were produced at San Francisco in 1909, a small number for the early 20th century. Survival ratios are quite low in choice mint state and one would do quite well to bid aggressively for this choice example. PCGS has graded 53 in MS-62 with 88 finer (PCGS # 8864) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,105
Lot 2428		1910 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. Sharply struck and frosty with medium orange coloration. While not as common as the 1926 and 1932, the 1910 is a more available issue. Extremely choice for the grade and we feel this specimen is worthy of at least one point higher. Housed in an old PCGS green label holder (PCGS # 8865) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $776
Lot 2429		1910-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $450 - 550. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $575
Lot 2430		1910-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. Rich golden-orange mint color with fewer marks than one would expect for this assigned grade (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $633
Lot 2431		1910-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. The most common branch mint Indian head eagle. Well struck with rose-gold color and slightly granular surfaces. Pleasing olive iridescence is seen in the periphery (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $546
Lot 2432		1910-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Finely granular surfaces and excellent luster. A blend of medium orange and greenish gold coloration. A well struck and readily available Denver issue from this series. A small scuff left of the date near rim. Housed in an old PCGS green label, fat letter holder (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $575
Lot 2433		1910-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Rich golden color with hints of rose and lavender. Finely granular surfaces that shimmer under rich luster. Another issue known to come well struck and this piece is no exception. The 1910-S has a mintage of 811,000 but a low survival rate in mint state. Any truly mint state coin is rare and those with fresh and appealing eye appeal, such as this piece, are extremely desirable. For identification, a small scratch exists from the end of the eagles tail and continues to the border at an angle. PCGS has graded 56 in MS-63, 16 in MS-64, 2 in MS-65 and 2 in MS-66 (PCGS # 8867) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,888
Lot 2434		1911 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. A beautiful and original choice uncirculated specimen. Surfaces are microgranular to satiny and delicately frosty. Light patches of olive iridescence are mixed amongst the light orange gold coloration. A common issue in a completely original state (PCGS # 8868) . Estimated Value $500 - 550. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $748
Lot 2435		1911-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. Finely granular surfaces with remnants of original mint frost. The obverse is well struck and lacking any abrasions or marks that could be considered "out-of-place". On the reverse above E PLURIBUS UNUM, there is an area where a small wipe occurred. The 1911-D has the smallest mintage for this entire series, only 30,100 pieces. Mint state survivors above MS-61 are seriously rare and the collector looking for a nice and relatively affordable example would be wise to acquire the present example of this "key-date" rarity (PCGS # 8869) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,600. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,415
Lot 2436		1911-S $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. The 1911-S $10 is a rare and undervalued issue and at today's levels, choice examples should be acquired whenever the opportunity arises. Only 51,000 pieces were produced and both the overall and high grade survival rate is low. Most of the existing population of uncirculated examples came from a hoard discovered in Europe in the 1970's and subsequently dispersed. David Aker's, in his book on the subject of 20th Century gold stated, "Until the discovery of the aforementioned hoard, which amounted to approximately 40 to 50 pieces, the 1911-S was virtually impossible to find in Mint State". The present example has the characteristics that Akers documented for coins from that hoard. The surfaces are finely granular and frosty with the original skin intact. The coloration is orange gold with patches of steel highlights and accompanied by excellent luster. A small patch of roughness is noted left of the date. The serious gold collector will appreciate the originality and eye appeal of this choice specimen. Housed in an old PCGS green label, fat letter holder. PCGS population of 17 with only 65 finer (PCGS # 8870) . Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,000. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,888
Lot 2437		1912 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. The 1912 eagle is a relatively common issue but it is always nice to see above average examples. This specimen has finely granular surfaces enhanced by thick luster and fields that are quite clean. The color is a rich yellow gold and the strike is strong, as is expected for this issue. Liberty's cheek has a small vertical tick mark. A frosty and lovely example (PCGS # 8871) . Estimated Value $800 - 900. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,035
Lot 2438		1913 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. A superbly lustrous and vivid orange high quality specimen. This 1913 eagle would make a nice addition to a quality conscious type set. Similar in rarity to the 1912 and a slightly scarcer issue. Known populations above the MS-63 grade level drop dramatically and gems are very rare. Over 430,000 pieces were struck at the Philadelphia Mint and the 1913 eagle is generally a well produced issue. Housed in an old PCGS green label holder. Estimated Value $450 - 500. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,093
Lot 2439		1913 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. A Premium Quality coin with fewer marks than one would expect for the grade (PCGS # 8873) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,200
Lot 2440		1913-S $10 Gold Indian. NGC graded AU-58. The 1913-S is one of the rarest Indian Head eagles in mint state and choice AU examples are no walk-in-the-park either. Only 66,000 pieces were produced at San Francisco and survivors above MS-63 are almost unheard of. The present example has sharp detail and although it is a little cleaned, the coloration is rich and not dipped-out. Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,185
Lot 2441		1913-S $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded AU-58. Along with the 1911-S, the 1913-S is a tough and undervalued Indian Head eagle. Only 66,000 pieces were struck at San Francisco and mint state survivors are scarce to rare from MS60-MS63 and very rare any finer. This choice AU example has above average luster for the issue and grade. The surfaces are medium orange gold and abrasion free. The mintmark is substantially smaller than that found on the 1911-S of this sale. A great opportunity for someone seeking a choice 1913-S without paying the levels required for a truly uncirculated specimen (PCGS # 8874) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,800. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,070
Lot 2442		1914 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. A well struck example, typical for this issue, with rich greenish gold coloration. Above average luster is found on this specimen and the surfaces are quite clean. The only marks worth mentioning are two diagonal ticks on the cheek of Liberty (PCGS # 8875) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,035
Lot 2443		1914 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Frosty and light greenish gold surfaces. An even distribution of abrasions in the fields with luster that is slightly above average. Scarce in grades above the MS61-62 range. Housed in an old PCGS green label holder (PCGS # 8875) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $604
Lot 2444		1914 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck and lustrous. Scattered small abrasions throughout the fields (PCGS # 8875) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $546
Lot 2445		1914-D $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Rich orange gold coloration with excellent luster. The 1914-D is known to come well struck and possessing flashy eye appeal and this piece showcases those characteristics wonderfully. The surfaces are frosty and finely granular and when tilted a slight orange peel effect is seen left of date. The mintmark is small and bold with the area immediately around it impressed from such a strong punch. A lovely example (PCGS # 8876) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,495
Lot 2446		1914-S $10Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. A lovely greenish gold example that is boldly struck and possessing soft, frosty surfaces. Aside from an old tick mark at the back of the jawbone and another on the reverse under the motto, this stunning example is mark free and very desirable. The luster is excellent and we feel that this specimen should be considered for resubmission for a higher grade. It is not often that one finds a 1914-S eagle with this level of eye appeal. Housed in an old PCGS green label holder (PCGS # 88770) . Estimated Value $700 - 800. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,530
Lot 2447		1915 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. An original and lustrous example. Surfaces are finely granular with a faint "orange-peel" effect in certain areas (PCGS # 8878) . Estimated Value $800 - 900. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $978
Lot 2448		1915 $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. A frosty mint example with very few marks (PCGS # 8878) . Estimated Value $800 - 900. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $920
Lot 2449		1915-S $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-61 PQ. Boldy struck and stunning eye appeal. Sharply squared borders accent fields and devices that are amply engulfed with luster. Rare in all mint state grades and excessively rare above MS-64, the 1915-S does generally come well struck but an well struck example coupled with fantastic eye appeal is very rare. Light orange fields with faint steel-blue and teal hues help to make this piece gorgeous. While not likely to reach the MS-63 level, it is our opinion that this specimen should easily reach the MS-62 grade. Identified by a small lint mark, mint made, left of the chin in field. Near the date, the finely granular skin breaks open in a few small patches to reveal several small prooflike patches. PCGS has graded 10 in this grade with 86 finer in all grades (PCGS # 8879) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. The Michael M. Magdic Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,900
Lot 2450		1915-S $10 Gold Indian. NGC graded AU-58. A tough San Francisco issue with a mintage of only 59,000. Orangish gold surfaces are lustrous and display only light hairlines. Any higher grade uncirculated 1915-S eagle is rare and a choice AU-58 represents a desirable grade to purchase this scarcity in. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,725
Lot 2451		1916-S $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Well struck and possessing luster far exceeding that normally found on hoard examples of this date. The coloration is a rich orangish gold on both sides and the obverse displays a russet toned film. Closer inspection with a loupe reveals that this film is most likely original and does not mask any disturbing scratches or marks. The surfaces are finely granular with the tips of the feathers quite frosty. Two short tick marks on the eagle's breast and one in the rear portion of the wing are the only serious marks to mention on the reverse. A lustrous and choice example of this San Francisco eagle! A mintage of 138,500 pieces is recorded for this date and the dispersal of several hoards greatly helped to make this one of the most common eagles from the San Francisco Mint. PCGS population of 58 in MS-63 with only 39 finer (PCGS # 8880) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,565
Lot 2452		1916-S $10 Gold Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. The San Francisco Mint produced 138,500 pieces in 1916 and this is one of the most frequently seen S-mint issues. Greenish gold coloration with slightly granular and frosty surfaces. Above average quality for the assigned grade and a choice example of an issue that is scarce in mint state (PCGS # 88800) .
