Lot 1896
1851-O $10 Liberty. ANACS graded AU-50. This coin is far too nice to remain in its AU50 holder for long. The number grade is hard to understand, because the details are those of an uncirculated coin and only the lack of full luster and the usual bagmarks take anything away from this attractive coin. It's really a nice AU55 with deep golden yellow color. Heavier marks on the face and by star 12, but these are nothing out of the ordinary for such a coin. Has the curious small "o" in the shield, thought to be a replacement for the centering dot found on lots of early issues.
