Lot 3766
1849-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. While the mintage of this date came in at 23,900, it doesn't account for the rarity in high grades. Only a handful are known in grades of AU or higher, and just 3 coins have been graded as Mint State by the combined forces of NGC and PCGS. In particular, this coin shows brilliant yellow gold with luster in the fields, and we note average or fewer marks from handling and circulation. Sharply struck at the centers, but the stars and reverse lettering show minor weakness around the periphery. NGC has graded 8 this high, with only 2 above as AU-58 and the two best they've seen at MS-60.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
