Exquisite Superb Gem 1901 Ten Dollar

1901 $10 MS67 NGC. As is the case with its 1901-S branch mint counterpart, the 1901 returned in quantity from foreign bank holdings in the decades after the 1933 Roosevelt gold recall. Such pieces were in demand from gold accumulators, since U.S. numismatic gold was legal to own during an era (prior to 1975) when the holding of gold bullion was prohibited. However, the majority of 1901 eagles are notably bagmarked. According to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006), examples of this issue in MS67 are exceedingly rare, and none sold at auction prior to 2005.
This specimen is one of only seven coins so-graded by NGC, with none finer (9/08); and PCGS has certified just one MS67, likewise with none graded any higher. The design elements are crisply and fully struck throughout, and a beautiful, radiant sheen encompasses the well preserved surfaces. Census: 7 in 67, 0 finer (6/09).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2008), lot 2267, which realized $28,750.
