Lot 1541
1876 $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-50. One of only 687 business strikes made for the year, certainly less than 20 survive in all grades, this is tied for the finest graded by PCGS of the business strikes. No Mint State coins have yet been graded by either service. The mirror fields show the typical signs of contact from circulation, but some mirroring is retained near the devices. There are a couple of scrapes which will serve to identify this coin, they are located in the field in front of and above Liberty's forehead. Currently in PCGS holder #3558345. Diagnostics noted in Breen are present, die file lines below LIB and through ERTY on the obverse. It is surprising that this centennial year is so poorly represented by this denomination, apparently the mints focused on double eagles and silver issues for production.
