Lot 2020
1858. PCGS graded AU-55. History holds that the 1858 ten dollar was a favorite of B. Max Mehl, a famous, long time coin dealer from Fort Worth, Texas who well knew this coin's true rarity. (This cataloger was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Mehl once, prior to his death in 1957, and purchase a 1900 Indian cent from him). A minuscule mintage of just 2,521 pieces makes the 1858 eagle one of the key dates in the series. NGC has graded five in AU-55, with just three examples finer. This is a fairly well detailed Choice AU example with soft orange-gold color and just a few notable marks near the center of the obverse. An important opportunity for the gold specialist. Pop 2; 3 finer, 2 in 58, 1 in 64+. (PCGS # 8625) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 19,000.
