Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 4708		1796 $10 Capped Bust. . BD-1, Breen-6832, T-6. PCGS graded EF-45. CAC Approved. Lightly toned with even wear. A pleasing coin with outstanding eye-appeal. Although as a date, the 1796 is a much more difficult coin to find than the one Eagle dated 1795, only BD-1 of 1795 is more available than the single one for 1796, of which approximately 125 examples exist in all grades. All examples of this Type are in constant demand from collectors. The 1796 issue has 16 obverse stars arranged 8 + 8, while the 1797 varieties have the same number but formatted 12 + 4 which makes them distinct varieties. Similarity in the main devices points to the head and eagle being hubbed into each working die, as their positions are too accurate to have been punched into each die by hand, explains Dannreuther. "Of course, the stars, lettering, branch, wreath, and date were punched by hand, and these elements show great variance." 4,146 pieces struck. Pop 8; 54 finer (PCGS # 8554) .

Lot 4709		1799 $10 Capped Bust. Small obverse stars. . BD-7, Breen-6840, T-19. NGC graded MS-64. Lovely light golden toning on both sides. Frosty and well struck. The fully brilliant lovely gold luster easily approaches Gem level elegance. The surfaces have a few very minor abrasions, strictly speaking this is consistent with or even slightly improving on the numerical grade. Slightly weak on the central hair that resides below the edge of the cap Liberty's head. The reverse, for its part, shows not the least little softening in the major details, with all of the eagle's wing, chest, and tail feathers nicely defined, and the shield stripes, both vertical and horizontal, completely represented. The present specimen is among the top survivors, and certainly qualifies as a "must own" specimen for a collector who is assembling a world-class set of American gold coins. Pop 4; None finer at NGC. (PCGS # 98562) . Die notes: Star size varies for the obverse and reverse on many 1799 varieties. Eight of the ten 1799 varieties use small obverse stars. The other two 1799 varieties, as well as those of the rest of the series (1800-1804), have large obverse stars. Estimated Value $120,000 - 130,000.

Lot 4710		1801 $10 Capped Bust. . BD-2, Breen-6843, T-25. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck with light obverse scratches. Some luster visable throughout the surfaces and across the devices. A satiny coin with excellent fields and delicate toning that seems to want to motivate bidders to increase their bids as though by subtle suggestion! Identifiable by some vertical lines from the cap to below the bust of Liberty. Desirable with this precision strike, all major devices are crisply defined, as seen in the photographs and from first hand inspection using low power magnification. On this variety, Star 8 is near the cap, while Star 13 is close to the bust. This, for collectors, is the most affordable early Eagle variety since the dies were among the most productive in the series. The majority of 1801 Eagles are this variety (the reverse was used again for the third variety in 1803, BD-3). Pop 59; 75 finer, 38 in 63, 34 in 64, 3 in 65. (PCGS # 8564) . Estimated Value $32,000 - 34,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $36,800
Lot 4711		1801 $10 Capped Bust. . BD-2, Breen-6843, T-25, star close to cap. NGC graded AU-53. Well struck with light golden toning on both sides. Only 44,344 pieces struck. A very choice example of the kind of quality one likes to describe for bidders of this actively collected design early Eagle design. Smooth surface condition blends easily with pale golden-amber accents around the devices. A few of the stars are flat, but otherwise a sharp-looking coin in more than one meaning of the term (PCGS # 8564) . Estimated Value $21,000 - 22,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $20,125
Lot 4712		1803 $10 Capped Bust. Small reverse stars. . BD-3, Breen-6844, T-28. PCGS graded MS-61. CAC Approved. Well struck with semi reflective surfaces. Mostly untoned. This variety distinguishable by the star point being near the upper beak, with the right foot of E in STATES over the cloud space. Only one obverse was used for the 1803 Eagles. According to Dannreuther, there are at least 150 examples surviving of this variety, which puts it into the Rarity-4 class. Light reflective luster graces the bright golden surfaces of this attractive specimen. The strike is strong on the reverse, though the design elements such as stars are a little soft in areas on the obverse. A few surface marks in the field to the right of Liberty; others on the face near the eye. Rims choice on both sides, free of nicks and dents. Pop 10; 32 finer, 17 in 62, 8 in 63, 6 in 64, 1 in 65 (PCGS # 8565) . Estimated Value $34,000 - 36,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $41,400
Lot 4713		1803 $10 Capped Bust. Extra star. . BD-5, Breen-6845, T-30. PCGS graded AU-53. CAC Approved. Well struck with light golden toning. A highly attractive early Eagle with a nuance of pale patina on both sides, all of which is underpinned by nice luster freshness at, around and within the devices. Struck from typically-sharp dies that imported a full texture to the design, only a couple of the stars at the outer periphery show any weakness. The fields are exceptional in their choiceness. The curious 14th star seems to have been discovered by Harry Bass. Only one obverse was used for all six varieties of 1803 Eagles; the reverse with large stars has a small 14th or "extra" star in the last cloud, plus leaf points to the left edge of I, with complete As before the punch broke except the last A in AMERICA which has a partial foot. This is the only readily available Large Stars reverse 1803 variety since the other variety with Large Stars on the reverse (BD-6) is a rarity with only six to 10 examples traced. Pop 1; 9 finer, 2 in 58, 4 in 62, 2 in 63, 1 in 64 (PCGS # 88565) . Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $37,375
Lot 4714		1838 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Untoned. Popular type coin. Only 7,200 struck. Some moderate roughness in the fields but mostly avoids the usual circulation marks and rim damage. In 1838 the Eagle was redesigned by Christian Gobrecht, who had been associated with the Mint for a long time, and who in September 1835 had been hired full-time as second engraver, taking over the work of Chief Engraver William Kneass, after he had been incapacitated by a stroke. The new style, variously called the Braided Hair, Coronet, or Liberty Head motif, featured a small head of Liberty with her hair styled compactly and no longer wearing a cap. The hair is tied in a bun with a string of beads. She is crowned by a coronet inscribed LIBERTY in raised letters. Thirteen stars surround the border, and the date is below. The Liberty Head motif by Gobrecht underwent several transitions, the first and most noticeable of which came in 1839, and a study of the various forms becomes quite informative. Pop 9; 16 finer. (PCGS # 8575) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,925
Lot 4715		1839 $10 Liberty. Large letters Head of 38. NGC graded AU-58. Only 25,801 minted. A popular type coin. This early date has wonderful old-time gold patina and surfaces that, while not perfect, are much choicer than average. Luster resides in the protected areas. Beauty and bold relief stand out without the least fear of doubt. Christian Gobrecht redesigned the $10 denomination gold piece in 1838 after a hiatus of several decades when none were minted. His first design is called the Large Letters Type and has swept back hair over Liberty's ear unique to this time period. In mid-1839, the engraver modified the size of the letters on the reverse and, at the same time, refashioned Liberty's hair. Pop 34; 10 finer, 4 in 60, 4 in 61, 1 in 62, 1 in 64. For collectors who would like to learn more about Gobrecht's revolutionary $10 design, the most comprehensive background to the 1838-39 type is given in Breen's 1988 Encyclopedia. Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $12,075
Lot 4716		1842-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A hint of light gold toning. Only 27,400 struck. Lustrous yellow gold with a blush of luster throughout and around the devices. Light hairline on the cheek, though the usual marks in the surfaces are clearly understressed on the carefully selected example. Some reverse striking weakness is barely seen at the left of the eagle, elsewhere everything is bold -- atypical for this date. Considerably rarer, in all grades, than even its modest mintage of indicates; VF or lower is the typical fare where this date is concerned. An special coin and an opportunity for the astute buyer. Pop 18; 3 finer; 1 in 60; 1 in 61; 1 in 62. (PCGS # 8587) . Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $8,625
Lot 4717		1843 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Well struck and mostly untoned. A few marks on Liberty's face. This issue tends to be found circulated in the Very Fine to Extremely Fine category for the most part. Mint States, as the population figures show, are low. A solid Mint State example with natural gold color and typical abrasions for the grade. Carefully struck in all areas with many stars clearly defined and the feathers in the bird amazing for their crisp detail. The year 1843 was an important one for American settlement. The first major wagon train headed for the northwest set out with one thousand pioneers from Elm Grove, Missouri on the Oregon Trail. Pop 2; 1 finer in 61 (PCGS # 8588) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $11,270
Lot 4718		1843-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Mostly untoned. A few trivial marks; a coin whose lustrous fields and devices set the stage for active bidding. No more than a few score were ever saved at the time of issue, and these through merest chance, not by intention. Pop 56; 8 finer, 1 in 60, 3 in 61, 3 in 62, 1 in 64 (PCGS # 8589) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,600
Lot 4719		1844-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Well struck and untoned with semi reflective surfaces. A very high grade for this often worn $10 gold piece issued by the New Orleans mint. A still glittering pale golden luster example with devices showing frostiness, it shows a bold strike. Only some of the stars could stand out better. As to the overall beauty, the eye appeal supports the strict, enviable AU58 grade that has been assigned! Pop 45; 10 finer (PCGS # 8591) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,900
Lot 4720		1844-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Some normal light friction and marks on the high points and untoned. The 1844-O, with its seemingly high mintage of 118,700 pieces, tends to lure collectors into thinking this is a common date even in choice condition. Far from it, the rarity increases suddenly above Extremely Fine condition, and can be said to be exceedingly rare in Mint State with only a few accounted for. A coin for a choice set of Liberty tens. Pop 45; 10 finer with 3 in 60, 4 in 61, 2 in 62 and 1 in 63 (PCGS # 8591) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $7,188
Lot 4721		1845 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A hint of light gold toning. Nicely lustrous and satiny medium gold devices display characteristic mellow gold iridescence. Smooth-surfaced rather than either frosty or prooflike with a modest cameo look. Very sharply struck. Surprisingly elusive in Mint State despite a fairly generous production run this year. In the end, we can say that this is a truly pleasing example of the 1845 P-mint Eagle, a high Condition Census, and one of importance to buyers of Mint State Liberty tens, exceeded in quality by a single MS62: Pop 1; 1 finer in 62. (PCGS # 8592) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $12,075
Lot 4722		1846 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Only 20,095 minted. Lightly toned. Smooth clean surface condition advances this coin's desirability, chiefly the absence of normal heavy abrasions gives it an edge. Strike is above-average, while a small amount of residual frostiness can be seen in places. An historical reference in the description of the 1843 $10 eagle made note of the opening of the Oregon Trail that year. Politics being what it is, the United States House of Representatives voted to stop sharing the Oregon Territory with the United Kingdom in 1846, the year of this $10 gold coin made its appearance. Pop 10; 6 finer, 3 in 58, 1 in 60, 2 in 61 (PCGS # 8594) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,038
Lot 4723		1846-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Light golden toning on both sides. A few average surface marks, none being overly obtrusive. Lustrous. Attractive appearance. Lustrous orange-gold with a touch of golden frosty in the devices and the moderately worn fields show little in the way of circulation marks. Nicely struck for an O-mint, with the only softening in the details found in the centers. Scarce to rare in all ascending grades because Very Fine or so is the norm for available specimens. "Underrated and undervalued in all grades," should be this coin's theme. In About Uncirculated 55, we expect to see a fair amount of bidding activity. The present piece is indeed a credible one, and is tied in the Condition Census: Pop 10; 4 finer in 58 (PCGS # 8595) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,795
Lot 4724		1848-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Some marks on the face and in the field near star 5. 35,850 minted. Pleasing medium yellow gold with luster in all areas if slightly low-key in the fields. The 1848-O is another branch mint Eagle that is exceedingly rare in higher grades, particularly Mint State, even more than the mintage would indicate. When one is offered, it is invariably Very Fine or Extremely Fine at best. Just a few equivalent pieces exist, creating another tremendously important opportunity. Pop 4; 3 finer; 1 in 64; 1 in 65; 1 in 66. (PCGS # 8600) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $13,225
Lot 4725		1850-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Smooth golden surfaces display a bit of luster with a whisper smooth natural rub from its few years spent in circculation. Sharp and appealing. The 1850's were the high water mark of cotton shipping, cotton culture, and cotton wealth in nineteenth century New Orleans, and it is more likely than not this 1850-O Liberty $10 gold coin played a role in the commerce of the lower Mississippi River trade back then. Mark Twain was a fifteen-year-old cub pilot-trainee on a Mississippi steamboat the year of this coin. Only 57,500 minted. Pop 23; 33 finer, 19 in 55, 11 in 58, 3 in 60 (PCGS # 8605) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 4726		1855-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Untoned. Satiny and lustrous medium gold surfaces glow with warm frosted highlights. A very nice specimen, memorable in many different characteristics. First, the striking is above average for a New Orleans piece with both sides showing considerable detail. Second -- or perhaps this should be rated first -- this is the one of only 10 graded by NGC, with only a handful in higher grades. Third with so few pieces struck (18,000), any surviving examples in any grade are rarities. When seen, the order of the day is typically Very Fine with extensive abrasions. The appearance of this rare New Orleans issue in the numismatic marketplace is one of the major importance to collectors of Liberty eagles. Pop 10; 10 finer in 58. (PCGS # 8617) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,325
Lot 4727		1856-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Mostly untoned. 68,000 struck. Third year of issue from this historic Western mint. While the economic situation on the East Coast was getting tense (there would come a Panic and worldwide depression in 1857), out on the West Coast, life went pretty much on as if the residents were in a different country entirely. Eagles weren't as popular with gold bullion depositors as were the double eagles, which explains the wide discrepancy in mintage between the two. This piece is definitely scarce in all grades. Pop 37; 88 finer; 44 in 55; 43 in 58; 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8621) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 4728		1860-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Semi reflective fields. A first-rate specimen with richly permeating color that flows across the even, virtually mark-free golden surface. Satisfactorily struck for the date and mint, indeed, about as excellent as this 1860 New Orleans issue is ever found. Collectors will love this one! In 1860, New Orleans was the nation's fifth largest city. The city's growth between 1810 and 1860 was the result of its unique geographical location at the mouth of one of the greatest river transportation systems in the world. Only 11,100 minted. Pop 19; 4 finer, 1 in 60, 1 in 61, 1 in 62, and 1 in 63 (PCGS # 98631) . Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,750
Lot 4729		1861-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Only 15,500 minted. Well struck with light golden toning. An very lustrous specimen with residual cartwheels beneath bright golden shades of color. The rim are full and problem-free; the fields and devices show only a few abrasions, including those below the tip of the bust and some under the hair bun. A scarce S-mint coin in this grade, one whose standing certainly meets the qualifications for the About Uncirculated 58 assignment by NGC. The completion of the overland telegraph in 1861 which connected San Francisco to the rest of the country, ended the short existence of the famed Pony Express this year. Pop 16; 1 finer in 61 (PCGS # 8634) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $13,800
Lot 4730		1866 $10 Liberty. With motto. PCGS graded Proof 65 Deep Cameo. Encased in PCGS holder 12761871. A golden gem. Bright reddish gold frosted motifs stand boldly out from mirrored fields, the devices seemingly hand-chiseled from a solid ingot of gold and balanced effortlessly in pools of deep reflectivity. A magnificent gem Cameo Proof of the date in all senses, and one momentary look should be adequate to prove our point. Only 30 Proof 1866-dated eagles were minted, all of which carry motto, IN GOD WE TRUST. We would hazard a guess that as few as 10 or so are in collections today, that is all. And of those, only fraction of the examples have been graded by PCGS, though not a another coin in a PCGS holder comes even close to the present specimen, let alone surpass it! This year, 1866, is a major one in American numismatics, one of a small group of dates that need little or no explanation to the student of the subject: 1873, 1907, and 1916 also come to mind. During the darkest days of the Civil War it was suggested that the nation's spirits might be uplifted by the inclusion of a centralizing motto with more of an emotional punch than the long-time E Pluribus Unum. A number of patterns coins were made with one form of this motto, GOD OUR TRUST (1861-63). However, there followed a much better sounding version in the IN GOD WE TRUST pieces of 1864 and later. The addition of the motto to $5, $10 and $20 gold coins in 1866 created a new Type, and 1866 is now the dividing line for the denominations where the motto supplements the design. This lovely Proof 65 Deep Cameo is the finest certified by PCGS: Pop 1; None finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 98806) . Estimated Value $140,000 - 150,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 4731		1871 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. CAC Approved. Only 1,790 minted. Well struck with light toning on both sides. Reflective surfaces. An extremely splendid-looking Liberty ten, a coin with choice luster and a wallop from the dies that is amazingly close to complete given the occurrence of weak strikes in the 1870s, especially on the branch mint issues. Attractive toning suggests that the present specimen was carefully preserved away from heavy handling and cleaning abrasives. A choice example of the rare 1871 P-mint release. Pop 10; none finer at NGC (PCGS # 8660) . Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $9,200
Lot 4732		1871-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Untoned. Only 16,500 struck. Satiny golden surfaces display strong luster and attractive reddish accents. Very choice overall for the assigned grade, in lieu of the fact there are very few of the usual scattering of tiny marks. We note a small mark at the back point of the bust. A notable rarity in lustrous About Uncirculated condition despite a modestly high mintage. This date is typically Extremely Fine and heavily abraded when available, with Mint State pieces unaccounted for in the NGC census. A very rare issue. This example represents a numismatic five-course serving, offering, as is does, a rare date within the context of the Liberty head With Motto Type. What could be more enticing? Pop 8; None finer at NGC. (PCGS # 8662) . Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,063
Lot 4733		1879 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. Lightly toned. A frosty, well struck example with great eye appeal from the clean (but not "cleaned") surfaces. A treat for sore eyes in a series that seems to be a magnet for bagmarks. Pop 53; 45 finer; 37 in 63; 5 in 64; 1 in 65; 2 in 66. (PCGS # 8683) . Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,100. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,150
Lot 4734		1879-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Nice light golden toning. Luster dances a lively two-step across much of the frosty surfaces of this attractive '79-CC eagle. Nicely struck, in fact, more than just nicely struck, we'd go further and say "bold" and decidedly choice for the grade. Try as we might, we have difficulty locating any marks. About the only one that is visible is a three-dot "chattermark" below the M of AMERICA on the reverse. Scarce in all grades and rare in lovely About Uncirculated condition like this; just less than two thousand examples of the date were struck. Certainly the number of survivors at the high end is exceedingly small in terms of the popularity of Carson City coinage: 1,762 minted. Pop 5; 1 finer in 62. (PCGS # 8684) . Estimated Value $30,000 - 33,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $31,050
Lot 4735		1879-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. Rare date. This important issue was the first eagle produced at the New Orleans Mint since it fell into rebel hands just before the Civil War. Once specie payments were resumed at America's banks (January 1, 1879) and paper money returned to "par" against gold, then the government allowed New Orleans the opportunity to begin striking coins after so many years. The low mintage of just 1,500 pieces has been a bright beacon for many collectors of the series since the 1879-O rarely appears at auction. Possibly fewer than 200 exist. This is a problem-free coin for the grade whose surfaces exhibit attractive tan-gold color. There are no inconvenient abrasions, and only a few tiny niggling marks that deserve a cursory glance at best. Many numismatists would argue the 1879-O is comparable in rarity to the lower mintage (800 pieces) 1883-O. Pop 13; 33 finer. (PCGS # 8685) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $6,038
Lot 4736		1884-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Only 9,925 minted. Lovely rich golden toning. Some luster visable on this highly presentable CC-mint ten. The 1884-CC release mostly reached circulation, thereby accounting for the feeble population statistic. This example is warmly colored and displays bold relief (including stars). A must for some specialized collection where high quality is the first order of business and low population comes in a close second: Pop 2; none finer @ NGC (PCGS # 8704) . Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $12,650
Lot 4737		1889-S $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64. CAC Approved. Untoned and choice. A lustrous example that has shimmering blast-of-gold surfaces. This is a decidedly well-struck '89-S ten with bold details, unlike some. It has only a few light (emphasize, light) abrasions and no points of wear, and as such we can see immediately that the dies left behind their rigid impression in the soft gold alloy in all areas. Just at the edge of Gem 65 condition. Pop 14; 1 finer in 65. (PCGS # 8716) . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $4,140
Lot 4738		1891 $10 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 63 Cameo. In NGC holder #1583365-001. A blazing gem. A small minor obverse mark left of Liberty's face. Otherwise a point or two higher. On the Proofs this year, the low date slants up slightly on the right. The dangling curl broken away, the missing areas mostly covered by frost. One the reverse, the first four vertical stripes are thinner than the other two. There are die rust marks at N GOD. And finally, some missing feathers below the second white stripe, second and fourth vertical stripes are mainly due to the die polishing; traces of die polish, partly frosted over. As has been reported by numismatists, the 1891 Proof is as rare as the 1889, with the 1891 existing to the extent of perhaps 20 coins today. It seems logical that many of the 48 Proofs minted remained unsold at year's end and were subsequently melted. Apart from the light line in the obverse field, this is a simply glowing example with pronounced cameo contrast and "orange peel" mirrors. Richly frosted. Furthermore, all devices are razor-sharp over every feature. Pop 1; 17 finer, 14 in 64, 3 in 65 (PCGS # 88831) . Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.

Lot 4739		1901 $10 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 60 Cameo. Light to moderate marks on both sides. Untoned and well struck with nearly all of its original mirror surface intact. Only 85 Proofs struck.

Lot 4743		1907 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo PQ. A blazing golden gem. Only 74 Proofs struck. Brilliant and reflective bright-gold surfaces. The obverse offers delicate cameo contrast, while the reverse is more subdued in that respect. All features needle-sharp. A notable rarity struck at the tail end of the series. While a few Proofs of the date were included in sets, others were sold individually; it is doubtful if more than a few dozen are extant today in varying states of preservation. Add to which, it is not at all likely that many are as choice as this. A Proof Eagle that will no doubt elicit strong bidding response. The current PCGS roster shows: Pop 15; 7 finer in 65. (PCGS # 88847) . Estimated Value $14,000 - 16,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $20,700
Lot 4744		1907 $10 Indian. No Motto. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides with smooth, satin luster throughout. Great eye appeal. Mint Engraver Charles Barber modified the Saint-Gaudens design several times in the first year of issue, providing much shallower relief and modified elements on the 1907 "No Motto" style coins. These modifications were intended to facilitate striking and use in commerce, although some have suggested they were directly in response to Barber's jealousy of Saint-Gaudens. The motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, was not included, due to personal objections of President Roosevelt. Pop 65; 6 finer, 5 in 67, 1 in 68 (PCGS # 8852) . Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.

Lot 4745		1907 $10 Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Lovely light golden toning. A coin that needs regrading. Since it has flattering mint frost that pulsates with yellow-gold to orange-gold color and exceptional surfaces whose freedom from marks or spots places it in the forefront of others in this grade (PCGS # 8852) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $5,750
Lot 4746		1907. No Motto. PCGS graded MS-63. Old green holder. A few light abrasions in the otherwise crisp golden toned luster. First year of the Indian head design, though that is no Native American displayed on the obverse but a fanciful rendition of Miss Liberty modeled from an Ancient Hellenistic sculpture (PCGS # 8852) . Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,680
Lot 4747		1910 $10 Indian. MS-60 Plus. Frosty with a few hairlines (PCGS # 8865) . Estimated Value $600 - 650. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $661
Lot 4748		1911 $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-66. Well struck with lovely golden toning. A lustrous example whose vivid sun-bright color undulates and billows across the surface like a Himalayan avalanche. The luster has an almost serene velvety texture to it. Soft-edged devices and lettering throughout the centers are typical on this Indian $10 issue, as commonly seen; however, a small percentage of 1911's Philadelphia Mint production is found with striking bold detail and this is one such coin! A first-rate Gem. Pop 42; 14 finer, 5 in 66 star, 6 in 67, 1 in 67 star, 2 in 68 (PCGS # 8868) . Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.

Lot 4749		1911 $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-61. Mostly untoned. The luster on dates minted 1916 and before has a lovely velvet texture to it, plainly intended that way since the change is dramatic when the 1920-S and later issues are compared (PCGS # 8868) . Estimated Value $575 - 600. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $719
Lot 4750		1911-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck with a hint of light orange toning. For years, the 1911-S Indian ten was believed to be a major rarity. That all changed in 1979 when Marc Emory, a coin dealer, purchased 50 examples from a European source. Most of these choice quality pieces were Mint State, with the kind of luster and smooth patina that is found here. The coin exhibits lovely color as described, with satisfying levels of smooth mint frost on both sides. There are no undesirable marks. A splendid example for the collector of this series. Only 51,000 struck. Pop 28; 28 finer, 20 in 65, 8 in 66 (PCGS # 8870) . Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $10,063

Lot 4752		1932 $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-63 PQ. Far fewer abrasion than usually seen on this grade, thus our Premium Quality designation (PCGS # 8884) . Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,668
Lot 4753		1932 $10 Indian. NGC graded MS-63. Light golden toning, though a few light bagmarks on the cheek and in the field. Beaming with luster (PCGS # 8884) . Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,150. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,035
