Lot 1513
1865-S $10 Liberty. 865 over inverted 186. EF-40. A magnificent specimen of this popular inverted date error. The surfaces are evenly toned a choice gold color, the strike is a bit weak at the center of the obverse, similar on the reverse. Far fewer abrasions than one would expect for the grade, with a single tick mark on Liberty's cheek worthy of note. As to the inverted date feature, it is clearly visible with a glass on the last 3 digits of the date. Curiously, this error variety is more common than the "normal" date 1865-S, but neither is available in any quantity. This one was broken out of a PCGS holder where it was graded XF 40.
