Lot 2976
1857 $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A decent strike with lots of hair detail. The frosty mint surfaces show the normal allotment of light to moderate contact marks associated with this numerical grade. Only 16,606 struck and seldom seen in high grade. Pop 2; 1 finer in 62 Housed in a plush inlay mahogany case with brass hinges and a booklet as marketed by Odyssey Marine Exploration. While the $20 denomination from this S.S. Republic shipwreck is the most often seen, $10 pieces are on occasion offered for sale, with the proviso that once they go into coin collections, it may be years before another like this surfaces again. Bear this in mind when establishing what to bid. Census numbers are very low.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
S.S. Republic.
