1895-O $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. Mostly untoned with a hint of light golden toning. Nice luster with eye-popping freshness for the grade. There is a single short mark through the tip of the lovelock on Liberty's neck. (A "lovelock" for those unfamiliar with the term is a lock of hair hanging separately from the rest of the hair, as one tied with ribbon and worn by courtiers during the 17th and 18th centuries. Most renditions of Miss Liberty show one, at least on coins of the 18th and 19th centuries.) Pop 55; 15 in 63; none higher at PCGS. (PCGS # 8733) .
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,400.

1907 $10 Indian. Wire rim, periods. PCGS graded AU-53. As we have commented upon elsewhere, 1907 was a watershed year in American numismatics. Tossed out were several mediocre coin designs that had outlived their usefulness. Teddy Roosevelt, spearheading the revolution, forced the Mint to bring its coinage design up to twentieth century standards. This was an era when politicians and statesmen were flexing the government's muscles, so to speak. America's brand-new navy, christened the Great White Fleet was steaming around the world on its grand tour as sort of a chest-pounding exercise. What we were telling the other great powers was that America, too, was a power to be reckoned with; America, too, could throw its iron muscle around; America, too, had the wherewithal to defend its beliefs.
These elegant Ten Dollar Pieces by Augustus Saint-Gaudens were one of the more visible aspects of this modernization program, and should be cherished as others cherish artifacts from prior, historic openings. Only 500 minted. Untoned. Pop 1 (PCGS # 8850) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
