Lot 1543
1876-S $10 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-53. Mintage of a scant 5,000 of which perhaps 50 or so are around today. Breen states "Ex. rare above VF" and this one is far and away better than VF. Copious luster remains in the fields, and fewer tickmarks than one would expect for the grade. Tied with the recently offered Harry Bass coin which was graded AU 53, and at that level the finest graded by PCGS. This is one of just 4 coins graded this high, and again, none are graded higher. Apparently unknown in full mint state as even NGC hasn't graded any coins that high.
