Description
1878 Ten Dollar, MS65
Exciting Registry Opportunity
Finest at NGC, Tied Finest Overall
1878 $10 MS65 NGC. Although one of the more readily
available Liberty tens in low Uncirculated grades, the 1878 eagle
becomes scarce in Select Uncirculated condition and rare in
near-Gem or finer grades. This MS65 example is the sole-finest at
NGC (6/22). Needless to say, the appearance of this coin at auction
is of exceptional importance to Registry Set and high-grade eagle
collectors. This is only the second time we have offered an MS65
example, the present coin both times, and the only other auction
appearance of an 1878 ten dollar in MS65 appears to be the Bradley
Bloch Collection coin (Goldberg Auctions, 9/1999, lot 1833, MS65
PCGS) -- more than 20 years ago. That coin remains unseen since its
1999 appearance, likely tucked away in an advanced collection. The
present sparkling Gem is supremely lustrous and attractive, with
vibrant yellow-gold color and a sharp strike that weakens only
slightly at the arrow fletchings. A few widely scattered, tiny
marks can be located with scrutiny under a loupe, consistent with
the Gem grade. An equally obscure trace of carbon between D and the
branch stem provides a useful pedigree marker for this ultimate
condition rarity among 1878 eagles. If history is any indicator, it
will be a long time before a comparable example will present
itself, an opportunity not to be missed by the perceptive
collector.(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265J, PCGS# 8680, Greysheet# 9399)
