Lot 2234
1907 $10 Indian. Wire rim, periods. PCGS graded MS-65 P.Q. Nice even toning. Many early catalogs put this Wire Edge coin in the Pattern section of a sale in times past, but now this issue is widely thought of as an integral part of the desirable Indian Eagle series. Only 500 pieces were produced, and they are the truest depiction of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original conception for this impressive 20th century gold series. This is a vibrant example of the issue in that the strike is bold in the centers and leaning toward softness at the borders. Both sides glow with satin luster consisting of alternating honey-gold and orange-gold displays. Striations or raised die finish lines (as struck) are scattered in the fields, but the surfaces are smooth enough to call for consideration at the full-Gem 65 grade level. A lovely coin that will form the centerpiece of any advanced gold collection. Pop 43; 15 finer. (PCGS # 8850) .
Estimated Value $50,000 - 55,000.
