Lot 1612
1907 $10 Indian. No Periods. Our grade is MS-64. The edges are prooflike and different than the normal No Periods type. Three raised edge separation lines between the stars are far more pronounced than normal. This coin was sent to PCGS for special status consideration and there was no consensus of opinion. The Philadelphia Mint was trying all sorts of things to get these Saint-Gaudens style coins to strike up. Perhaps the collar was adjusted here, to allow for slight expansion of the planchet, as Barber needed to increase production and get these into circulation after the delays and striking troubles of the initial styles. Further study is needed. Estimated Value $1,500-UP
Ex. US Gold from a prominent midwestern family collection.
