Choice Proof 1970 Liberty Ten Dollar

1907 PR 64 PCGS. A rare date as a proof with only 74 pieces struck in this final year of issue for the Liberty ten dollar. Of that number, Akers estimates that perhaps 25-30 still exist, while Breen states that some 30-35 may still be extant. High grade examples are especially elusive. This is a very attractive, high-end piece that shows virtually no field-to-device contrast which is normal for proofs struck during the early 1900s. Deeply reflective, this choice specimen presents a bright yellow-gold appearance with some haziness, and a few hairlines scattered about (mostly on the obverse).
