Lot 2063
1839 $10 Liberty. Large letters. NGC graded AU-58. An important and rare type coin in high grades, NGC has graded just 15 this high with a scant 6 graded higher in various mint state grades. Some luster near the devices and the coin is well struck for this date. The swept back hair on Liberty covers her ear, and the letters are a different style from later issues from 1839 onward, creating this short-lived type coin for 1883 to 1839. Identifiable by a few ticks left of the date, and a short scratch by the lower right serif of the E in TEN.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
