Description

1878 $10 MS 64 PCGS. Erroneously perceived as a common date among most collectors, the 1878 ten is an elusive issue whose survivors typically grade either VF or XF. Near-Gem representatives are as difficult to obtain as those of the lower mintage 1874. This is a scintillating example that displays rich mint frost and clean features. With a bold strike that is free of criticism, advanced gold collectors would be wise to enter carefully considered bids when this coin crosses the auction block. NGC and PCGS combined report only 6 examples in MS 64 with a lone MS 65 PCGS piece finer.
