Lot 1778
1849 Moffat & Co. (San Francisco) TEN DOL. NGC graded AU-58 Star. Well struck and an outstanding example of this notorious problem plagued issue. The surfaces are alive with luster and a hint of light golden toning further adds to its appeal. A very choice example and a Premium Quality coin for the given grade. For the Territorial specialist, this coin represents a challenge to find at all, and is much more difficult to find so choice. An opportunity that no one should take lightly. In a new 4 prong holder. Recently added to the NGC population report. NGC Pop 1, none finer. (A PCGS MS62 appeared in a May 2001 Heritage sale where it was described as a "Possible Specimen Striking.").
Die characteristics: Moffat tens of this type are usually found weakly struck and most are heavily worn. Liberty's hair detail is nearly always indistinct. Personal inspection will quickly inform the viewer that this specimen is extraordinarily detailed.
Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
