Lot 1487
1874 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64. Here we have a very high end example of this slightly more common date from the 1870s. Examination with a strong glass fails to find more than just faint surface scuffs, and the fields and devices have the appearance of a higher grade. The color is quite beautiful too, with rose gold tones around the periphery and bright mint luster throughout. Struck from lightly clashed dies on the reverse. As a near-gem, this is one of the finest graded by PCGS, and their Population Report shows only 13 graded this high, with only 2 coins graded a notch higher. An exceptional coin for the advanced collector.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
