Lot 3763
1846 $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. A low mintage date (20,095) that just didn't seem to get noticed until years of population report data was examined. This one is very rare in high grades, in fact, this coin is one of the very highest technical grades! We note the surfaces show rather extensive handling marks which are magnified by the prooflike fields. The marks are small in nature, and evenly distributed on both sides. Sharply struck, with wear only on the high points of the design elements. NGC has graded 3 as AU-55, 2 as AU-58 above, and one as MS-60 at the top, PCGS has graded 2 as AU-55 and none above. Hence, this is one of the finest graded, almost certainly in the top ten known! A rare opportunity for the date specialist.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,500.
