The Regency Auction 52

详细说明: This is a VERY RARE and important offering! One of only 10,630 that were originally struck, and of that number PCGS CoinFacts estimates that 175 survive in all grades. Precious few are seen in Mint State, as the vast majority of this low mintage date went right into the Reconstruction economy and stayed in commercial channels for a long time. Back when David Akers wrote his seminal works on U.S. Gold coins, he was unaware of any Mint State coins; when David Hall was building his set, only a single Mint State coin had been graded by PCGS. Today, PCGS has seen fewer than 10 in Mint State, none finer than MS62. The color is classic orange-gold with a hint of copper, substantial fully Prooflike luster remains and the surfaces are free of the deep and detracting cuts that so often are found on these rare early $10 Liberties. particularly on Liberty’s face. Boldly struck too, with full knobby claws on the eagle and each of Liberty’s curls displaying their fully rounded character at the highest points, mercifully preserved at this lofty grade level. PCGS 12, NGC 26, CAC 5. The last one we sold was back in September 2015, a really nice PCGS AU58 CAC that brought $8,225. More recently a non-CAC sold for $7,600 in March 2022. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $7,500 and the CAC CPG value is listed at $9,780. The only CAC Mint State coin, a MS60 CAC sold in April 2022 for $18,000. A great coin for any advanced set. Cert. Number 25275699 PCGS # 8653
