Lot 1521
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) .
Estimated Value $2,700 - 3,000.
