Lot 949
1872 $10 Liberty. Population of 4 with 7 higher. NGC graded AU-50. A meager 1,620 struck for circulation, of which perhaps 30 are known today. The protected areas retain hints of prooflike surface, the result of die polishing, as these dies were used to strike the few proof coins issued and never lost their die polishing during the small issuance of coins for circulation. Moderate handling marks, none too deep or annoying, and with a fairly clean cheek on Liberty. Breen, in 1988, estimated that only 10 to 12 were known. With the advent of third party grading, it appears that a few more are available, but this could be the result of multiple submissions of the same coins and besides, this is a very rare date indeed. Perfect for the collector who appreciates rarity, quality and value.
Estimated Value $7,200 - 7,700.
