Lot 1469
1842 $10 Liberty. Small date. NGC graded MS-60. This is the small date, although it is not designated on the NGC insert. Minor weakness on the high points, but otherwise well struck by the dies. Rather extensive bagmarks from countless inventories and handling over the decades. Note the mint frost on the devices, which gives them contrast from the surrounding fields. According to the NGC Population Report, only 4 have been graded as such, with 2 coins graded higher by that service (finest MS-63). Early date eagles are very rare in mint state, so don't pass this one by.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
