Lot 1522
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) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
