1861-S $10 MS (PCGS#8634)

The Regency Auction 46

详细说明: A very rare Civil War date from an original mintage of 15,500. Today, just 80 are estimated to survive per PCGS CoinFacts. David Akers noted that most specimens are well worn, most in Fine to XF grades, and he that it is a grossly underrated date. Today, there are a number of AU examples that were unknown to Akers when he was conducting his research. That said, no PCGS AU50 has sold in auction since 2004! Light, even wear is seen across both sides of this AU piece. Minor scattered contact is noted throughout, most of it is superficial and has limited impact on the above average eye appeal. A touch of original luster clings to the recesses and is amplified while rotating under a light. This is a very rare issue in all grades. Harry Bass was lucky enough to have several examples, including a PCGS AU50 in BassII:1485 and a raw AU50 in BassIII:651; the Dallas Bank Collection had a raw AU; Eliasberg's was a scratched VF. PCGS 9, NGC 5. Since none have sold in 17 years, those records are no longer valid. More recently a PCGS XF45 sold in February 2018 for $13,213 and a PCGS AU53 sold for $15,275 in the 2017 FUN auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $15,000. A very rare and underrated date, PCGS has yet to grade any in Mint State. Bound for a wonderful collection of this immensely challenging series. Good luck. Cert. Number 38884863 PCGS # 8634.00
