Lot 1571
1883-O $10 Liberty. Sharpness of EF-40 but harshly cleaned. The obverse may have been lightly buffed down as there is faint evidence of swirl marks just past the date and surrounding Liberty. Inspection mandatory on this extremely rare coin. Only 800 were struck and this is probably one of the better ones to have survived. The obverse has retoned a bit to a uniform coppery color, with similar matching color on the reverse. Diagnostic die cracks through UNITED and OF on the reverse as noted in the Breen Encyclopedia.
