Lot 1024
1869 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. Coined on February 1, 1869 to the tune of just 1,830 pieces, this date was rare literally from when it was struck. The surfaces show the expected handling ticks from limited circulation, but they are even and not heavy. Nicely struck by the dies, with crisp details on the high points. The diagnostic weakness on the motto at IN is present, and this is seen on all business strikes, as only a single die pair was needed to coin so few.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
