1920-S $10 Indian. Cleaning. Merely 137 examples are estimated to have survived in all grades. A wonderful looking example with some faint hairlines indicating a past cleaning or wiping. This is one of the tougher dates in this series to obtain in any grade! Don't let the minor cleaning issue get in the way of admiring this rarity. Despite a mintage of 126,500 pieces these obviously ended up being melted in the 1930s as so few are known today. Often seen with RTY weak on LIBERTY as seen here, a characteristic of the striking that year. An important offering that would bring multiples of the likely price realized were it not lightly cleaned (PCGS # 8881) Estimated Value $15,000-UP

Ex. US Gold from a prominent midwestern family collection.


 
Realized $47,000
