1839 $10 Liberty. Small letters. PCGS graded AU-53. A lovely coin that boasts light coppery toning on both sides, and frosty luster in the fields. Minor handling marks in the fields, and a pair of reeding marks are noted just below Liberty's eye. This is the type of 1840 variety, which continued until 1907 (with the addition of the motto on the reverse in 1866). We note that PCGS has only graded 4 coins higher of this variety! A rare coin indeed in this high state of preservation. Outstanding quality for the issue.
