Lot 1203
1804. Crosslet 4. PCGS graded MS-61. Lovely rich golden toning. Semi reflective fields. This one has great color and reflective surfaces. There are some shallow adjustment marks down Liberty's face and hair, common to this particular issue. Futthermore there is a short scratch in the left obverse field which is mentioned for pedigree tracing purposes. 1804 is the final year of issue for the $10 eagle until 1838, when the new screw press was developed, a press which was large enough to coin this prodigius gold coin with more precision than the previous screw press used on this coin. Mintages in 1804 were tiny, and survivor rates were tiny. Here is one of the best to come down to us today. Only 3,757 struck, with about 80 to 100 examples estimated to have survived according to PCGS Pop Report. Pop 8; 3 finer, 1 in 62, 1 in 63+, 1 in 64. (PCGS # 8566) Estimate Value $75,000 - UP
