Lot 1444
1839 $10 Liberty. Large letters, type of 1838. Sharpness of EF-40 but repaired in the fields. The obverse shows faint scratches in the field and on Liberty which have been carefully buffed down and are now a bit discolored. Well struck on Liberty, and on the reverse too, with complete definition on the devices. There are some traces of the 9 over 8 overdate (Breen-6850) along the right side of the 9. Some luster remains, and a coin which should be inspected.
