1877-S $10 MS (PCGS#8679)

The Regency Auction 30

详细说明: Tied for second finest graded at PCGS, this is an impressive survivor of this lower mintage, rare date Liberty Head $10. From an original mintage of only 17,000, the majority of survivors, based on population data, is AU50 or lower. It becomes extremely rare and very underrated in AU53 and finer, with NO Mint State coins ever graded at PCGS. Pleasing, original orange-gold surfaces show off a vivid satin frost. The devices are well struck and the naked eye appeal is wonderful, it is only under intense scrutiny with a glass that a few minor scuffs and marks come to view. None of these marks are singularly distracting and perhaps account for why CAC did not bean this otherwise very nice, high grade example. PCGS 5, NGC 35. Our records show exactly three PCGS AU55s having ever sold in auction: one in December 2015 that brought $4,230; one in August 2007 that brought $4,320, and one way back in February 1997. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $5,500. PCGS has graded just seven coins in AU58 finer, including the David Hall-Bob Simpson coin we sold in September 2015. The finest known is the NGC MS61 that sold in the Admiral Collection (February 2018) for $31,200. This underrated RARITY is worthy of the utmost consideration from the specialist of $10 Libs and will bring a strong bid. Cert. Number 36825163 PCGS # 8679
