1856 $10.00 MS63 [w/ fingerprints] auction

Totally laughable!

this piece is a candidate for finest known

and

mark-free, this piece appears to be an upgrade candidate

This is what gives dealers a bad reputation. If this guy were the last dealer on earth I would sell all my coins and collect stamps! He is notorious for hyping every coin in his inventory as upgradable or PQ+.

There is an obvious fingerprint on the coin, front and back. Hairlines galore. An upgrade candidate? Maybe if submitted to ACG or NTC. I bet the coin looks worse in person.

    60,000 minted, not that rare.
  • i dnt really mind it. I like the p/l look. And it is pretty rare compared to most other rare coins, after melting and stuff.

    I actually think this coin is pretty nice and deserves the grade. This coin has very noticable die polishing but they usually do with prooflike surfaces. mike image

    Just about any no motto $10 Lib is rare in that grade...

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
