1797 $10 BD-2, Large Eagle MS (PCGS#45717)

The Regency Auction 31

详细说明: This is a GORGEOUS, totally original 18th century eagle. Everything about this coin is HIGH-END and it really is a borderline Mint State piece - in the old days, we do not doubt it would have been cataloged as Unc. BD-2, considered to be R-4+ per the Bass-Dannreuther reference with an estimated 80-100 known in all grades. Flashy, semi-Prooflike lustrous fields shine with a strong vibrance that brings out varying shades of yellow-gold with tinges of richer honey-orange and tangerine-amber. The obverse shows some bluntness of strike in the central portions and in some portions of the rim, while the reverse is fully impressed and embossed from a strong blow from the dies. Minor lines and ticks can be seen with a strong glass, however both sides are remarkably free of any deep adjustment marks that are often seen on early $10s. PCGS 32. NGC 55, CAC 4. This is the only PCGS AU58+. VERY RARE any finer, with most Mint State coins clustered in the MS61 and 62 levels. The only PCGS/CAC AU58 (no +) to ever sell in auction realized $52,875 in July 2015 (Ex Douglas Kaselitz Collection). This coin realized the same amount as prior to being approved by CAC in July 2013. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $53,500. While CAC has approved seven coins finer, NOTHING FINER than AU58 with CAC approval has ever sold in auction! Good luck! Cert. Number 31671109 PCGS # 8559
