Description

1857 $10 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU Details, Net XF 40. Breen-6925. Ex: Bass. According to the Breen reference: "Curve of another digit between 57, touching the curve of 5 and the serif of 7. It is uncertain if this is part of another 5, another 7, or a 6. Extremely Rare." All we see on this coin is a short line that looks like a die scratch between the 5 and 7, but no evidence of a curve. Nevertheless, the 1857 is a rare and all-too-often overlooked issue, and this is only the third overdate we have offered in the past nine years. Well struck, good portions of luster remain in spite of the obvious hairlining on each side.
Ex: Bass II (Bowers and Merena, 10/99), lot 1458, where it realized $299; Bass purchased the coin from William Donner, 9/14/67.
