Lot 1516
1799 $10 Capped Bust. Large obverse stars. . BD-10. PCGS graded MS-62. A very bold strike including full center points within the stars. The surfaces are quite clean for the grade, slightly reflective and all nicely toned in natural greenish color gold.

Production increased to 37,449 coins for 1799, giving this issue of capped bust eagle the second highest mintage for the series. While all of the obverse dies bear 13 stars arranged eight and five, two different star punch sizes were used; the resulting varieties are called Small Stars and Large Stars. The numerals in the date are spaced variously: Some coins have a Close Date, some a Wide Date, and others an Irregular Date. Ten die varieties are known for 1799, representing the combinations of five obverse dies and seven reverse dies. Pop 33; 63 finer (PCGS # 8562) .
Estimated Value $38,000 - 40,000.

1800 $10 Capped Bust. . BD-1, Rarity-3+. PCGS graded AU-55. Well struck with semi reflective surfaces still intact. Attractive light golden toning adds to its appeal. Prooflike surfaces that are almost mirrors with pleasant, glowing golden color. A great deal of stress is laid on the strike detail of these early Eagles, and this piece is well struck on all devices with the sole exception of the 13th star. In an old green label holder.

Production fell in 1800, with 5,999 1800 capped bust eagles believed struck. Just a single die variety is known. The obverse die broke early, Breen notes, possibly ending production early and accounting for the scarcity. Pop 24; 60 finer. (PCGS # 8563) .

1803 $10 Capped Bust. NGC graded MS-62. As usual for this issue, slightly soft on the obverse left stars, bold on the right and fully struck stru the centeers. A beautiful frosty mint example, lightly toned with light mint-made adjustments marks on the reverse. Here is a eye-catching coin for the grade, and a classic early gold rarity. The surfaces are quite choice and damage-free for a gold coin of this date, with smooth-flowing luster covering both sides. Nicely struck by the dies it is also very attractive. Only a few of these early eagles are available for sale in true mint condition (a number are locked in museum collections), and this one stands out as a solid Mint State 62. Pop 1; 1 finer in 63.

The Philadelphia Mint struck an estimated 15,017 1803 capped bust eagles from a single obverse die and several different reverse dies. The reverses are known with Small Stars and Large Stars. One variety for the Large Stars has faint traces of a fourteenth star punched into a cloud!

An nice array of rich golden hues grace the surfaces of this early Eagle with some luster evident around the devices on both sides. A small area of adjustment is seen at the hair on the obverse, but the present Extremely Fine 45 is still very attractive (PCGS # 8565) .

1804 $10 Capped Bust. PCGS graded "Genuine". Our grade is Sharpness of Mint State 60 plus. We note a reverse scrape by the first S in STATES. Only 3,757 struck. This is still a splendid light golden colored specimen with a faint golden zephyr-like adjustment lines through the portrait, as made. Well struck for the date where the profile of Liberty tends to weaken along the bridge of the nose to the chin and below on most known specimens. There is a scuff in the horizontal shield lines at the right side of the shield caused after the coin left the mint. All in all this is acceptable quality for a date where few better-quality coins exist. We find it deserving bidders' notice and inspection (PCGS # 8566) .

1840 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Sharply struck in natural greenish color gold. A total of 47, 338 were struck. Slightly prooflike luster dominates both sides of this carefully early date Liberty eagle. Free from most abrasions, the fields are choice while Liberty's cheek is especially attractive to collectors and prospective bidders. Given the modest mintage, it makes sense that survivors are scarce in all grades. This Condition Census example should be considered by those who enjoy the challenge of specialized collecting. Pop 16; 5 finer with 2 in 60, 2 in 61, 1 in 62 (PCGS # 8581) .

1844 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Lightly toned. Scarce low mintage date as a mere 6,361 were coined, most of which when found, are well circulated. Among the more difficult issues in the series, this scintillating P-mint example confirms that distinction with its display of uncommon sharpness on all the highest points of the design. Even the normal softness areas in this long-established design are absent. To put it simply, both sides are graced by clean (but definitely not "cleaned") surfaces, a fresh, smooth appearance of Liberty's features, and simply outstanding rims. The color, too, is natural and beautiful. An aesthetically pleasing specimen that will be enjoyed by one and all. Pop 6; 2 finer with 1 in 61, 1 in 63 (PCGS # 8590) .

1850-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Only 57,500 pieces struck. This piece has cunningly beautiful surfaces for what is normally a heavily abraded series. As a well struck No Motto $10, it displays ample luster and sharp, crisp detail, the latter of which is especially evident on the hair curls as well as the eagle's wings and body. A couple of tiny marks by the first and second stars, as well as a short mark below the 12th star.

Struck at New Orleans. This Southern city was a bustling port city through which most of the products of mid-continent flowed out to the rest of the world. Hence the need for a Mint to coin gold and silver in New Orleans was seen as early as the 1830s. The New Orleans Mint opened in 1838. Pop 24; 34 finer, 20 in 55, 11 in 58, 3 in 60 (PCGS # 8605) .

An elusive New Orleans $10 Eagle, and one that seems almost impossible to find in any grade, let alone choice. Very few were produced. What's more, this one seems sharper than average with clearly defined centers. Best of all, it has none of the typical marks and edge bruises, the surface is indeed quite outstanding. Very few 1856-O Eagles have been certified higher, and only a handful at the AU58 level: Pop 17; 3 finer in 60 (PCGS # 8620) .

1875-CC $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. A trifle soft in the centers as made with a few scattered milling marks in the unprotected fields. This lofty-grade 1875-CC is much higher grade than usually encountered.While not the finest certified, it certainly ranks with only a few others in the Condition Census scale. Lustrous honey gold with plenty of brightness in the protected areas. From a modest mintage for the date (see below), with most survivors from that mintage at Very Fine or so. The Winter-Cutler reference calls '75-CC "one of the rarest Carson City eagles from the standpoint of pieces known and rarity." Only 7,715 pieces struck. Pop 1; 7 finer with 3 in 55, 4 in 58 (PCGS # 8673) .

Die notes: Date logotype nicely and evenly impressed; well centered horizontally. Left edge of lower serif of 1 over space between dentils. Reverse CC mintmark somewhat to high, both letters over the N in TEN. First C placed closer to talons than N, second C mostly under tip of arrow feather, letters nicely spaced.

The distinctive San Francisco pieces are all very well executed and, when lustrous, have nice frosty surface as those seen here. Most of the original mintage was not saved, and only a relative few examples are certified in Mint State by either NGC or PCGS. Straw-gold blending into nice rich warm orange-gold color, where glimpses of luster persist within and around all devices extending well into the field on both sides. A couple of minor scuffs at the date with a disturbance in the luster below the first A in AMERICA on the reverse. Only 17,000 struck. Pop 13; 2 finer with 1 in 60, 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8679) .

1894-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. In NGC holder 4513390-007. A fabulous example, well struck and gleaming with semi-reflective mint luster. A most eye appealing eagle exhibiting golden mint bloom color with natural iridescense at the extreme borders. Brilliant and lustrous examples of this issue are rarely offered. The devices being frosty and the fields exhibiting a form intermediate between frostiness and prooflike, the effect is most desirable. As expected, design features are sharp including the feathers on the eagle's legs, tail, wings, and neck. This piece is also noteworthy as one of the few high grade survivors from the small mintage at New Orleans. The presently offered MS64 specimen also happens to be among the finest known as is readily confirmed by the population data: Pop 2; 1 finer by a point (PCGS # 8730) .

1907 $10 Indian. Wire rim, periods. PCGS graded MS-64. Delicate natural golden sunset toning graces the surfaces on both sides. A rare and popular transitional issue, one of a handful of pieces made without intentions of circulation, technically making the Wire Edge eagle a Pattern (Judd-1774). This issue was the closest the mint came to reproducing the ten-dollar design as conceived by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Theodore Roosevelt. The presently offered coin has subtly variegated shades of golden and russet-orange color with only the smallest marks, none of them singular or important. The die polishing residue (common to all specimens and in the form of raised swirl lines) is slightly more pronounced on the reverse fields and overall the coin has a fresh, uncleaned satiny sheen. Only 500 minted. Pop. 102; 62 finer with 44 in 65, 15 in 66, 3 in 67 (PCGS # 8850) .

The obverse shows a stately head of Liberty whose Indian war bonnet puts a finishing touch on her head, the band is inscribed LIBERTY. Around the edge in the upper half of the field are 13 pointed stars, below the neck the date 1907. There are 46 stars on the edge in place of the usual milling. (This edge was imparted by a segmented collar which withdrew after the blow imparting the design to allow the newly struck coin to eject.)

The placing of the head with a blank space in front was believed to be very artistic. At first blush the feathered bonnet looks too large, but after the eye becomes accustomed to it no complaint can be made. The general pose of the head, its position on the coin, and the arrangement of the headdress resembles very closely several of the ancient Greek coins.

1907 $10 Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Intense golden-orange toning on both sides. Several differences can be noted between the No Motto design and the earlier Rolled or Wire Edge pieces. First, the rim has been modified to facilitate stacking, it is now broader and squarer. Second, much of the fine detail in the legends, stars, headdress, wing feathers, etc., has been noticeably strengthened in an effort to lengthen the circulation life of this design. Third, all of the reverse periods with the exception of those between the words in the peripheral legend (acting as artistic "stops") have been removed, perhaps simply to serve as a means by which to differentiate such coins from their pre-modification predecessors. A truly beautiful coin and Premium Quality for the grade (PCGS # 8852) .

Lot 1565
1912-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A splendid and very choice specimen that shouts with originality. The intense frosty mint luster shimmers as rich mint bloom colors the surface throughout. We note a tiny mint caused planchet stain next to the bonnet that probably caused the graders at PCGS to grade this gem so conservatively, nonetheless, a Premium Quality coin for the grade. The '12-S $10 an important condition rarity, but it also emerges as one of the overall rarest issues of the set when aesthetic qualities are factored in. On most specimens, the hair around the forehead and temple is almost always blurry, while the feather detail on the eagle's shoulder tends to be weak. This one outshines most others in these key components. Pop 41; 8 finer with 7 in 65, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 8872) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
