Lot 1565
1912-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A splendid and very choice specimen that shouts with originality. The intense frosty mint luster shimmers as rich mint bloom colors the surface throughout. We note a tiny mint caused planchet stain next to the bonnet that probably caused the graders at PCGS to grade this gem so conservatively, nonetheless, a Premium Quality coin for the grade. The '12-S $10 an important condition rarity, but it also emerges as one of the overall rarest issues of the set when aesthetic qualities are factored in. On most specimens, the hair around the forehead and temple is almost always blurry, while the feather detail on the eagle's shoulder tends to be weak. This one outshines most others in these key components. Pop 41; 8 finer with 7 in 65, 1 in 66 (PCGS # 8872) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
