Lot 1042
1879-O $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Another rarity in any condition, this charming AU 50 is one of the very finest in existence. A token 1,500 were struck, with a survival rate of around one percent, as estimated by Breen. We think that a few more are accounted for today, with about 15 years of grading service population reports, the number appears to be more like 30 to 50. None have been graded as mint state by PCGS, with NGC awarding an MS 61 designation to a single coin. This one is identifiable by a long bag mark over Liberty's head, between stars seven and eight, running at about a 60 degree angle to the left. Frosty gold color and very original. If you've been searching high and low for an excellent high grade coin for your collection, then look no further than this piece, and bid accordingly.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
