Lot 1499
1859-S $10 Liberty. PCGS graded EF-45. A perfect coin for the grade, some luster adheres near the devices, the fields and rims show the usual tick marks, and Liberty's face does not have any heavy bagmarks. Akers notes this date is "grossly underrated" and despite its mintage of 7,000 pieces, is apparently as rare as the coveted 1858. No mint state coins have yet been graded by PCGS, and with only 6 coins graded in various about uncirculated grades, this is certainly one of the very finest available.
