1907 Wire Rim Ten
Lustrous, Satiny Near-Gem

1907 $10 Wire Rim MS64 PCGS. Produced in a business strike format, this inaugural ten dollar issue is sometimes classified as a pattern, but it is an integral part of the Indian Eagle series nonetheless. The issue was never placed into commercial channels, but rather was distributed to Theodore Roosevelt's political allies and cabinet, Congressmen and Treasury Department officials, and other preferred individuals. The public and museums were able to purchase examples, as were coin dealers. A total of just 472 coins were distributed from the original mintage of 542 pieces.

This near-Gem example is richly lustrous with virtually unmarked surfaces and pleasing, medium-gold coloration. A few apricot-gold accents add to the appeal. The strike is sharp but lacks fullness on the headdress high points and the very bottom of the date. Concave surfaces slope up to a distinct wire rim that encircles the coin on both sides. The eye appeal is excellent and compelling.
