Conditionally Scarce 1851-O Ten, MS61

1851-O $10 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Variety One. Seen here with the mysterious hollow ring at the top of the shield. Obviously used as a centering device, but why a circle instead of a dot? The 1851-O had a substantial mintage of 263,000 pieces, and in general was a well-produced issue, especially when compared to the O-mint tens that preceded it. Unlike many 1851-Os, this piece shows minimal abrasions. In fact, the most notable surface disturbance (and it is tiny) is a small planchet void in the right obverse field out from stars 11 and 12. The devices are well struck in the centers with some peripheral weakness seen on the obverse stars. Seldom seen in mint condition. Population: 4 in 61, 2 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
