1846 Ten Dollar Liberty, AU55
Rarely Seen Finer

1846 $10 AU55 PCGS. The 1846 is similar in overall rarity to the 1845 but, if anything, it is even rarer in high grades. It is almost never seen finer than AU55 and there are just three or four pieces known in Uncirculated:

1. MS62+ PCGS. Simpson / Hall Collection.
2. MS62 NGC. Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2008), lot 2215, where it sold for $51,750; Dallas Signature (Heritage 10/2008), lot 3853, where it realized $40,250.
3. MS61 PCGS. Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2004), lot 7661, where it brought $22,500 (as MS61 NGC).
4. MS60 PCGS. Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/1997), lot 704 (as MS60 NGC); Stack's (3/2018), lot 10367, realized $40,800.

PCGS AU55 examples of this date have traded at auction with even less frequency than Uncirculated examples. Since the Bass III coin was sold in November 2000, just two pieces have sold at public auction; the most recent record is the coin Heritage sold for $16,200 as lot 4231 in its February 2018 auction of the Admiral Collection. That coin was CAC-approved and housed in an old green label holder, so a better comparison is Goldberg Auctions (6/2014), lot 1890, a coin that sold for $9,106. This lightly worn, minimally abraded Choice AU specimen should do at least as well here, in its second recent appearance.
