Description

PCGS 1907 Wire Edge MS 64. While technically a pattern, the Wire Edge tens have long been collected along with other regular issue coins in the ten-dollar Indian series. Only an estimated 500 coins were struck in order to see what the Saint-Gaudens design would look like in coined form and were never intended for circulation. These coins are easily distinguished from regular issue pieces by the bright satiny texture to the surfaces, the die polishing marks, and the lack of a determinant edge. Since these were not intended for circulation, the few survivors are in rather good shape and the average grade is really quite high. This is a pleasing piece with bright, satin surfaces and only the tiniest and most insignificant abrasions to account for the grade. A rare opportunity for the gold enthusiast to acquire one of the most important gold issues of the 20th century. Trends $18,000 (1/25).
