Lot 1496
1881 $10 Liberty. NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo. One of the nicest of the 42 proof eagles coined this year, the fields are very deep in their mirroring and the devices are all deep in golden frost. Examination with a strong glass will note few signs of handling, including some stray hairlines over the deep orange peel fields and a nick on Liberty's chin. NGC has only graded 4 this high, with a single coin graded higher for the date. PCGS has only graded one coin as high as PF-65.
A magnificent coin that represents the finest quality the Philadelphia Mint produced. Don't expect this one to be a bargain, quality always brings a strong price.
Estimated Value $30,000 - 40,000.
