Some may remember my recent post about wanting to buy a $10 Indian, and how I have always wanted one. I took the board's advice and bought a slabbed version from a reputable dealer. I again turned to Harlan J. Berk with the aid of Mike Printz and just bought this beauty.
I am not sure why but I like the 1913 date better than the 26 or 32. Perhaps just a subliminal attraction of something that is over 100 years old? (though it severely limits my dating pool..)

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

Super example
I find that the early $10 Indian gold (1908-1916) is very hard to get the same grade twice in the AU58-MS62 range. It's often pot lot each time they go in.
I suspect most MS62's are coins that took multiple attempts to get there. And many AU58's are former 61's and 62's where someone though they could get an upgrade. The cycle repeats over and over.
It's been even harder to find nice AU58's in recent years as many look AU50/53/55 to me.

And yes, you are correct. The 1913 is a better date than the 1926 or '32. It also is more likely that you will get a nicer coin for your money. The two most common dates are often sold as "investment pieces," and I have seen some sloppy grading on them in the past. A date like 1913 is more likely to get a more conservative grade.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Nice coin!

I am a guesser more than a grader.
As already noted, grading between AU58 and MS62 can be a bit whimsical.
In any case, this is a nice coin. Enjoy!
Anyway, I picked this one because it looked a heckuva lot better than a run of the mill 62. It's got pizzazz!
