Lot 4716
1842-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A hint of light gold toning. Only 27,400 struck. Lustrous yellow gold with a blush of luster throughout and around the devices. Light hairline on the cheek, though the usual marks in the surfaces are clearly understressed on the carefully selected example. Some reverse striking weakness is barely seen at the left of the eagle, elsewhere everything is bold -- atypical for this date. Considerably rarer, in all grades, than even its modest mintage of indicates; VF or lower is the typical fare where this date is concerned. An special coin and an opportunity for the astute buyer. Pop 18; 3 finer; 1 in 60; 1 in 61; 1 in 62. (PCGS # 8587) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
