1907 Wire Rim Ten, MS63
Remarkable Color, Bright Mint Luster

1907 $10 Wire Rim MS63 PCGS. Depending on the source, the usual mintage of the 1907 Wire Rim tens is given as either 500 struck, or 542 struck and 70 melted, leaving a net distribution of 472 pieces; in either case, the difference is insignificant. The grade distribution of the survivors is interesting: Since these coins were handed out as VIP souvenirs at the time of their minting, some show evidence of rough handling over the last 100+ years, likely by non-numismatists. PCGS has graded a couple of examples at the VF35 grade level. But others have clearly been carefully preserved, including some remarkable high-grade examples. This Select piece shows the usual bright mint luster. However, rather than the normally seen even yellow color, this coin displays deeper reddish-gold with hints of lilac interspersed. A few widely scattered contact marks explain the grade, but this Wire Rim ten presents much better than the grade would indicate.
