Lot 3765
1848 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-64. A stunning, original coin that boasts resplendent mint luster and a sharp strike. This is certainly one of the finest known of the date, and it is currently the finest graded by PCGS as the only MS-64 seen by that service. NGC has also graded one as MS-64, and another as MS-65, to give the buyer an indication of how rare this date is above choice grades. The surfaces are remarkably clean for a gold coin of this period, and this piece has obviously seen careful handling since the time it was struck. If you are a date specialist, or someone looking for a spectacular example for your type collection, then here is a worthy coin to acquire. Faint wispy hairlines can be seen with a glass, but they are not detracting. Identifiable by a tiny vertical mark on the cheek about half way between the ear and base of Liberty's nose, and a small tick on the lower right loop of the first 8, and on the reverse by a couple of small copper toned areas between AM of AMERICA and UN of UNITED. In PCGS holder #6566216.
Estimated Value $25,000-UP.
