Lot 1442
1838 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. A choice coin for the grade, with approximately 20 known in this grade or higher for the date. Frosty luster in the fields and only minor circulation marks. Strongly impressed by the dies, and appealing in every way. Only 7,200 struck, and an important two-year type coin with the sweep of hair over Liberty's ear, which was swept away in late 1839 to the familiar Coronet curly hair style. Free of the usual problems and heavy handling marks, and worthy of a top-notch collection. PCGS has only graded 3 coins in this category, with 5 graded higher, making this one of the very best of this important two year type coin.
