Lot 3775
1858-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. One of the finest graded of this date, forget the mintage of 11,800, few are found in top grades. This particular coin is a beauty, boasting fully struck devices and stars, even the eagle's knobby claws are sharp on the reverse. Struck with the usual reverse die with a minor crack from the rim up through the right side of the N in TEN and die lines through the right wing of the eagle. NGC has graded 4 this high, with just 4 higher, all AU-58. PCGS has only graded one coin as high as AU-55, with none higher! Hence, this is likely in the top dozen of those known for the date, with apparently none in mint state. A foremost coin worthy of a strong bid from a date collector.
Estimated Value $5,000-UP.
