Lot 1333
1872-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Lightly toned. A classic elusive date from the 1870s. There were so pitifully few struck of the 1872-S, and most reached circulation, there are not many with this much original luster to go around. One noticeable scratch below the end of the bust. The strike is full and complete with the possibly exception (for those who wish to be choosy) of some softness at one claw and the upper arrow feather; otherwise, the surfaces show only limited circulation marks barring the aforesaid mark, and the upper devices reflect very little actual wear. All in all, that makes this frosty coin a delight for the date collector and a great opportunity for the advanced numismatist. 17,300 minted. Pop 11; 2 finer; 1 in 60; 1 in 61 (PCGS # 8665) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
