Coveted Gem 1913 Ten Dollar

1913 $10 MS65 PCGS. In their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Garrett and Guth treat the 1913 ten dollar as a type issue, stating: "The 1913 eagle is another common Philadelphia Mint issue that is available in all Mint State grades, including gem Uncirculated." While the date is "available" in MS65 in the sense that examples exist, collectors should not harbor illusions that such coins are anything but scarce. This is an appealing prize, boldly struck with vibrant wheat-gold luster and faintly textured fields. A few light marks at the lower part of Liberty's face affect the technical grade far more than the eye appeal. Population: 48 in 65, 13 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)
