Losbeschreibung

Rich orange gold with softly glowing frosty luster. A scattering of light marks is non- distracting and a tiny toning spot on Miss Liberty’s neck is noted solely for accuracy. From a generous mintage of 3,877,220 a mere 155 have graded MS64 or better, a clear indication of a low survival rate in high grade. PCGS 77, NGC 35, CAC 10. Only 29 graded MS64+, and 2 MS65. None finer at CAC. Listed by PCGS in the price guide at $2,500 and CAC at $2,690. One might consider this date common based on mintage and price guides, but in fact only 43 coins are known in MS64 CAC or finer. If you are building a top set of $10 Liberties, you likely need this coin. Cert. Number 45099504 PCGS # 8691
