1899 Gold $10 Liberty MS67 { PCGS-5 } (Oct'2018) - Finest Known 1/0 – Incredible mar-free golden fields cover both sides offsetting the well struck and equally pristine devices. Struck in the waning years of the Victorian Era this late nineteenth century gem exudes intense luster over the entirety of its exceptionally clean surfaces presenting an amazing state of preservation for coins of this era. The quantity of eagles to reach this exceptional grade or higher is limited to about two dozen specimens, and the bulk of these belong to the twentieth century.
