Lot 1678
1907 $10 Indian. Wire rim, periods. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely rich golden satiny mint surfaces that glisten with luster. A gorgeous gem specimen. A rare and desirable transitional Type, one of a mere 500 coins made without intentions of circulation, technically making the Wire Edge ten a pattern (Judd-1774). This issue was the closest the mint came to making the ten-dollar design as conceived by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Theodore Roosevelt. The presently offered coin has subtly variegated colors, marvelous luster, and only the smallest marks, none of which we find need to be singled out, nothing out of the ordinary. The die polishing marks (common to all specimens) are more prominent in the reverse fields. Overall the coin has a lovely vibrant satiny sheen. Pop 15; 10 finer (PCGS # 8850) .
Estimated Value $65,000 - 75,000.
