Lot 1548
1907 $10 Indian. No periods. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. Intense golden-orange toning on both sides. Several differences can be noted between the No Motto design and the earlier Rolled or Wire Edge pieces. First, the rim has been modified to facilitate stacking, it is now broader and squarer. Second, much of the fine detail in the legends, stars, headdress, wing feathers, etc., has been noticeably strengthened in an effort to lengthen the circulation life of this design. Third, all of the reverse periods with the exception of those between the words in the peripheral legend (acting as artistic "stops") have been removed, perhaps simply to serve as a means by which to differentiate such coins from their pre-modification predecessors. A truly beautiful coin and Premium Quality for the grade (PCGS # 8852) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
