1902 Ten Dollar, PR64
First Year With an All-Brilliant Finish

1902 $10 PR64 PCGS. CAC. JD-1, Low R.5. Ex: Simpson. It has been well-documented that Mint officials switched from a high-contrast finish, which had been employed in proof production throughout the 19th century until 1901, to an all-brilliant finish in 1902. To that point, of the 113 1902 Liberty Head ten dollar proofs struck and the 50 to 65 pieces that survive, none have been assigned a Cameo or Deep/Ultra Cameo designation at either PCGS or NGC.

This near-Gem representative showcases deep yellow-gold color. The reverse is partly contrasted with reflective fields and moderately frosted devices. Similarly, the obverse fields exhibit considerable mirrorlike reflectivity, though little contrast exists between those fields and the relief elements. A single point of contact on Liberty's chin identifies this Bob R. Simpson coin. Population: 22 in 64 (1 in 64+), 8 finer. CAC: 5 in 64, 4 finer (6/22).(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28G9, PCGS# 8842, Greysheet# 9723)

Weight: 16.72 grams
