Lot 1496
1858-S $10 Liberty. EF-40. As with all the coins in this collection, this has been conservatively graded. Smooth, even wear and without the heavy circulation marks that often plague these large gold coins. Breen notes this date is "rare above VF". With the gold from the Central America shipwreck finally coming to market, interest will be greatly enhanced in date collecting of gold coins. Evidence is abundant, one need look no further than the Treasury release of millions of Morgan silver dollars and the collecting public which still loves the common and beautiful Morgans. Since the Central America sunk in 1857, there won't be any 1858-S coins recovered!
