High Grade 1852 Wass Molitor Large Head Ten Dollar
K-4, AU55
1852 $10 Wass Molitor Ten Dollar, Large Head, Wide Date AU55
NGC. K-4, R.5. Large Head. Short Neck, Pointed Bust, Wide
Uneven Date. This variety has traditionally been referred to as the
"Large Head." That nickname seemed unfortunate to Don Kagin, when
he penned his Private Gold Coins and Patterns of the United
States, probably because the so-called "Small Head" variety
(Kagin-3), features a portrait of Liberty that is not appreciably
smaller in size compared to this one. In fact, Edgar Adams referred
to Kagin-3 as the Large Head, in his California Private Gold
Coinage. Thus, Kagin and Walter Breen decided to rename this
variety the "Short Neck, Pointed Bust, Wide Uneven Date." This
example is typically soft near the periphery, with central details
that are well struck for the type. The pale greenish-gold surfaces
are lightly worn and mildly abraded. Census: 5 in 55, 9 finer
(6/08).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# ANJN, PCGS# 10348, GSID# 11884)
