| Legend Rare Coin Auctions | Auction | The Regency Auction XXIII October 2017 | Oct-2017 | This is the second finest example of this date and Mint graded by PCGS, just missing the top honors by a half a grade point at MS64. Radiant Mint luster dances across the obverse and reverse, and the strike is bold and complete. Although most Philadelphia Mint issues with a decent number struck are widely available in Mint State, this is not at all the case here, where limited numbers exist, and most are in lower grades like MS61 or MS62. This example stands tall as MS63+! Struck in rich greenish gold with a dash of orange. The surfaces are an absolute delight to study, with satin smooth luster on Liberty’s cheek and no distracting nicks or cuts. While not quite as rare as the 1848 or 1852 issue, the 1856 still deserves hard won respect for its rarity at this grade level. An important offering for the specialist! PCGS 1, NGC 0. There is only one MS64 graded finer at PCGS, that coin has never sold in auction. A regular MS63 sold in November 2007 for $19,950. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $23,500. If you are building a WORLD CLASS set of $10 Libs, you need to bid on this coin! Cert. Number 30131713 PCGS # 8619 |
This coin is currently in the Set Registry inventory of DLH and is featured in one or more sets, including D.L. Hansen $10 Gold (1838-1907).
