CAC. One of the finest known examples of this scarce date. PCGS has graded just 16 coins MS-65 and two 65+ while NGC has graded just 7 MS-65’S. Neither service has graded a coin numerically finer and just 3 of these coins have received CAC approval. The present coin is exceptionally nice with vibrant satiny […]

Well struck with original lustrous surfaces.

Well struck with crisp yellow-gold luster. Minor marks define the grade but none are heavy, which often is the case on New Orleans Mint ‘Tens’.

A very scarce date at this grade level and a date that is plagued with soft strikes and a lackluster appearance. This is an exceptionally pleasing example with bright lustrous surfaces that provide strong eye appeal. The strike is well above average for the date.

Thick satiny white luster with a hint of a champagne accent along the outermost edges.

Well detailed with light gray surfaces.

Sharply struck with frosty yellow-gold surfaces. Marks are few and minor with none of significance. While lower mint state grades are readily available, few pieces are available at this grade level or above. Only 4 pieces have graded MS-65 at PCGS and just 3 pieces have graded MS-65+ with nothing finer.

Outstanding for the grade with excellent eye appeal. The strike is sharp across both sides and the surfaces are nearly flawless and arguably full red!

Sharply struck with lustrous yellow-gold surfaces and fewer marks than one would expect for the grade. Just 98,000 minted and only 3 coins graded numerically finer at PCGS.
