1910 Ten Dollar, PR63
'Bright Finish' Two-Year Proof Issue

1910 $10 PR63 NGC. JD-1, R.5. The official mintage for proof 1910 eagles of 204 pieces is somewhat deceptive, as an unknown quantity of gold proofs that had gone unsold over the preceding decade was apparently melted around 1917. Others of course, found their way into commerce during the hard times of the Great Depression, or were turned in by obedient citizens during the gold recall of 1933. Only 25 to 35 examples are estimated to have survived. This specimen appears to have been stored in a board or album that had plastic slides, as the facial area displays a number of wispy slidemarks. The "bright finish" proofing process with its brilliantish appearance and pleasing yellow-gold color is otherwise most attractive. If considered separately, the reverse is easily Gem quality. Census: 3 in 63, 22 finer (2/21).
