This is a noteworthy example of the No Motto Type whose lightly patinated surfaces show outstanding color throughout and are largely free of distracting contact marks. Razor-sharp on all devices, although the flat design relief shows less of a raised effect than the With Motto coins that follow (PCGS # 8852) . Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,100. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,680
Lot 3941		1908 $10 Indian. No motto. PCGS graded MS-62.

Lot 3947		1908 $10 Indian. With motto. PCGS graded MS-63.

Lot 3950		1908-S $10 Indian. With motto. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely golden toning and well struck. Very pretty coin! Bright orange-gold with warm accents on the highlights. A satiny gem that boast an endless amount of luster and physical strength. The characteristic San Francisco mint strike is bold, which is very positive for a low mintage date that collectors find difficult to obtain in any Uncirculated grade. Don't expect the usual halfhearted impression left by the striking of the sometimes worn dies that made this piece. We are glad to report the opposite is true. This is a very bold coin with sharp feathers in the stylized war bonnet as well as on the eagle's wings. Your acquaintance with this piece, once you spend a little time with it, will ripen, and you may find yourself reaching for your checkbook to make sure you've funds enough for the inevitable bidding tussle that will arise when it is time to be auctioned. Pop 12; 10 finer. Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $18,975
Lot 3951		1908-S $10 Indian. With motto. PCGS graded MS-64. Rich shades of golden toning. Only 59,850 minted. A blazing orange-red satiny specimen just shy of gem class, with swirling luster on both sides plus grand eye appeal. A beautiful representative of the scarce '08-S issue. What gladdens us most is to see a crisp rather than a dullish, smooth impression was left by the pressure of the dies that struck this sharp specimen. Pop 26; 32 finer. (PCGS # 8861) . Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $9,430
Lot 3952		1909 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Choice frosty surfaces with light gold to peach-colored toning in areas, attractively preserved (PCGS # 8862) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,093

Lot 3954		1910 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Creamy gold surfaces eddy and churn with almost "frothy" luster here, the lovely reddish to apricot-gold shades are inviting. In addition, the coin possesses a nice, clear-cut strike for all areas with outstanding detail at the feathered headdress. Pop 151. (PCGS # 8865) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,163
Lot 3955		1910-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-61. Both sides are covered in orange-gold color that amplifies the ample remaining luster; somewhat scruffy surfaces, but all original and uncleaned. Estimated Value $550 - 600. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 3956		1910-D $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Lovely orange toning. This lovely MS64 is blazing with full, multicolored luster. Rose-red and pink shades of warm gold are both in evidence, but we are hard pressed to find even a single carbon fleck or deep abrasion on the relatively clean surface. Sharply struck on obverse and reverse as well, for a typical bold impression '10-D (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,106
Lot 3957		1910-D $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-63. This warmly colored example displays beams of golden metallic detail in virtually all areas. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,070

Lot 3959		1910-D $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 PQ. Old green holder. Lustrous with warm orange toning throughout, a distinctly "original" color and look for one of these handsome Indian tens (PCGS # 8866) . Estimated Value $900 - 950. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,064
Lot 3960		1911 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-65. Wonderful toning and well struck. Full bright golden, undisturbed mint luster that is untoned except for a dash of rose pink to lovely apricot hue in the centers and bright, shimmering fields. Struck with exactly the required mathematical precision by the dies in which all areas, not just some, are complete by a highly successful strike. Ideal for 1911 Philadelphia Mint quality in the Eagle series. A gem! Pop 52; 18 in 66; 8 in 67. (PCGS # 8868) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,050
Lot 3961		1911 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Unrivaled for the MS64 grade in terms of exterior preservation, both sides of this golden beauty are well frosted with lovely toning. Both the peripheries and the central reverse are detailed and close to 100% crisp for their sharpness of strike, which is a forceful reminder in a coin from this mint that it is quality that counts (PCGS # 8868) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,163
Lot 3962		1911 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. A problem-free coin with luster racing over the surface, vivid and orange gold in appearance. What's more, the fields acquit themselves nicely in terms of the fewness of marks. A blunt impression is often left by the recoil of the dies that struck this year's coinage; just the same, we can report that this specimen, unlike the others, is outstanding in its detail and sharpness (PCGS # 8868) . Estimated Value $800 - 850. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,093
Lot 3963		1911-D $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-62. Pale citron-rose in color, the surfaces exhibit eye-opening striking definition. All minute detail fully evident on this bold 1911-D, a date characterized by very few offerings in Mint condition. Pop 34; 9 in 63; 14 in 64. Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,740
Lot 3964		1911-D $10 Indian. NGC graded AU-58. Bright with gold-on-gold somersaulting luster whose radiance on both sides of this cleanly original, almost mark-free example must be seen to be appreciated. Only the faintest trace of rub on the high points of the design. It is the mintage that'll cause bidders to sit up and take notice, since 1911-D has the lowest coinage total in the later series (not counting the 500 1907 Wire Edge pieces and 42 Rolled Edge coins). A mere 30,100 pieces were made. Estimated Value $2,100 - 2,200. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,185
Lot 3965		1911-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Scarce date in Mint State. A satiny golden coin with strong luster on choice matte-like surfaces. What gladdens us more than usual is to see a crisp rather than a dullish, smooth impression was left by the pressure of the dies that struck this sharp '11-S specimen. One of the low mintage issues, only 51,000 left the dies at San Francisco that year. Although we can only imagine it now, we expect there will be a look of mingled joy and awe in the eyes of the next owner of this handsome piece, knowing the coin's value and rarity in high grade. Pop 16; 52 finer. (PCGS # 8870) . Estimated Value $5,600 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $7,763
Lot 3966		1912 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Rich shades of gold toning. The strike is customary for the issue with the usual light metal flows into the deepest recesses of the dies on the hair waves above Liberty's brow and at the chest feathers on the eagle. Choice for such an appealing year in our history. Pop 163; 25 finer (PCGS # 8871) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,163
Lot 3967		1912 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Old green holder. Likely a first strike from new dies, just estimating from the details. The surfaces are vivid gold in hue and drenched in orange toned luster. Here, too, we are struck by the nice, convincing design detail for all areas of this important Type coin with not even the slightest amount of flatness on the main feathers that Liberty wears (PCGS # 8871) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,300
Lot 3968		1912-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Velvety to satin-like fields almost stagger under the weight of its highly lustrous gold color. A hint of weakness at that is typically seen on the eagle's wing where it crosses the neck is barely discernible on this otherwise sharply struck specimen, with the key central areas strongly hit by the dies. Scarce in Mint condition. Pop 80. (PCGS # 8872) . Estimated Value $1,600 - 1,700. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,128
Lot 3969		1913 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. The surfaces on this handsome coin are judged by us to be bright gold in color, and quite lustrous, with the grade acting on behalf of its outstanding quality (PCGS # 8873) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,163
Lot 3970		1913 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. A boldly original gold-surfaced coin whose choice quality depth of detail in the strike complements the equally fresh mint bloom. Where an ineffectual imprint is often left by the rebound of the dies that struck this year's coinage, the opposite is in fact the case here: devices show crystal clarity and abnormal detail in the centers. Bidders be warned, you may face competition on it (PCGS # 8873) . Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,013
Lot 3971		1913-S $10 Indian. NGC graded AU-58. Light marks on the face and in the surrounding surfaces; warm "old gold" patina with accents of orange in the golden color. Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,783
Lot 3972		1913-S $10 Indian. ANACS graded AU-50. Another low mintage date in this series, 66,000 were struck. Some luster remains around the devices. Choice rims (PCGS # 8874) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $863
Lot 3973		1914 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Nicely toned on both sides. A highly lustrous and fiery fresh orange gold example with sleek eye appeal. Small wonder that the present beauty is graded as carefully as it is. Struck with systematic exactness throughout, there is no need to ignore the central part of the hair on Liberty or wing on the eagle where a somewhat rounded impression is sometimes left by the dies. This coin is decidedly bold in the centers. Pop 113; 34 finer. (PCGS # 8875) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,450
Lot 3974		1914 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62. Frosty with only a few light marks on Liberty's features. This is one of the slightly scarcer P-mint issues. At the time, the European nations had undertaken to destroy one another in what was at first called The Great War. This put tremendous pressure on the money markets. Although the American mints would continue striking $10 Eagles into 1916, that would cease in 1917-19 until the situation stabilized. Many early gold pieces were exported (PCGS # 8875) . Estimated Value $625 - 675. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,093
Lot 3975		1914 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-61. A small mark on the jaw, plust a few others in the devices. Lustrous for the grade, with nice originality to the color. Old green holder (PCGS # 8875) . Estimated Value $525 - 550. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $690
Lot 3976		1914-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. There are a few tiny nicks at the chin on Liberty, but the surface is generally quite smooth and frosty for the date, with lovely patina throughout. Sheer boldness of strike throughout would be the ideal for a '14-S eagle, but this coin failed to strike completely and was left by the rebound of the dies in a somewhat soft state at the date and a few areas of the eagle. Pop 109 (PCGS # 8877) . Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,555
Lot 3977		1915 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-62 .PQ. Lustrous warm golden color; minor contact marks on the topmost surface (PCGS # 8878) . Estimated Value $850 - 900. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,208
Lot 3978		1915-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-63. Scarce date in high grade. A radiant example, fully original with dusky gold color that rises and falls in an almost rhythmic display, suggestive of a coin that lay hidden away in an old collector's set for decades. Desirable with this meticulous strike, even though we need to point out some modest signs of weakness in the eagle's wing and forward part of the right leg. The reduced mintage of 59,000 partly explains this coin's rarity in all grades. Pop 27; 19 in 64; 4 in 65; 2 in 66. (PCGS # 8879) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $13,800
Lot 3979		1916-S $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-64. Intense frosty mint luster. What is most in full view when we examine this coin is its thick, smooth golden mint luster -- it swirls over each side unhindered by any except very minor abrasions and free of even a trace of discoloration. A coin with outward charm that will delight the serious gold coin collector. Pop 19; 8 in 65. Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $8,913
Lot 3980		1916-S $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-61. A few light rim marks; generally well made although slightly soft at the centers. Lustrous. Estimated Value $700 - 750. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $805
Lot 3981		1926 $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-65 PQ. A remarkable coin that emits eye-catching gold color, with no marks or problems for the skeptic to find. A dullish impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck some 1926 eagles; however, we're pleased to see and report that this is a splendid Gem Mint State exception to that rule. Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000. Frank McCarthy Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,245
Lot 3982		1926 $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-65. Old holder. Beautiful coin and a gem. Sparkling satiny golden with rich orange iridescence in places. Often, a soft impact was left by the recoil of the likely worn dies that struck this year's coinage, although sharp strikes aren't unusual; luckily in those instances like the present one, the opposite of a weak strike is the case and the coin has a very convincing impression. Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $7,015
Lot 3983		1926 $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice golden colors. A few light marks on the cheek. Outstanding bright color beams across radiant surfaces on this later issue Indian ten. Production ceased after 1920. There was a large issue (heavily melted) in 1926 and again in 1932, with a smaller amount (now very rare) in 1933. Some comparisons of everyday prices back when this gold coin was current may be enlightening: at Hotel La Salle in 1925-6, "Chicago's Finest Hotel," a single room ranged from $2.50 to $7.00 per night. Breakfast at the hotel was 50c to 70c; lunch, 85c; dinner, $1.25, and Sunday dinner, $1.50. A hand-tailored, silk-lined tuxedo was $35. Toy electric train sets began at $5.75. A new gas range was $27.35. Smoked beef tongue was 29c a pound; flour $1.25 for a 24-1/2 pound bag; apples 49c for a box of a dozen. The fare to Bermuda from New York and back by ship was $70 (or seven of these $10 gold pieces). This price included the berth and meals. A new Hudson car cost $1,250 or a little more than 60 ounces of gold, which equates in today's mini-dollar of $580+ gold to a whole lot more. In fact, multiply all of the above figures by 20 to 25 times to factor in the price rise of the last 80 years and you get a feel for the actual buying power of gold money like this 1926 $10 Indian (PCGS # 8882) .
