Lot 2457
1858 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. Encased in NGC holder 1828489-001. Very rare date. Untoned and well struck. Moderate bag marks as are typical on these. Only 2,521 minted. The 1858 is one of the keys in the Liberty $10 Eagle series. Not only is it well known due to extensive catalog write-ups over the years, but it has become the most talked about issue of this underrated No Motto design. All but a few specimens (25 to 30 may be all that exist in all grades) are in worn condition. To the best of our knowledge only a handful can be traced in Mint condition, this specimen being matched in quality by one other Mint State 60 graded by NGC. A notable and important offering for the specialized collector of gold rarities, one whose rarity, quality and desirability insures its standing in American numismatics. Pop 2; 2 finer; 1 in 61; 1 in 64. (PCGS # 8625) .
Estimated Value $24,000 - 26,000.
