Landmark MS67 1905 Ten Dollar

1905 $10 MS67 NGC. At just over 200,000 pieces struck, "The 1905 eagle is one of the more common 'tough' dates of the 20th century," according to Garrett and Guth. They explain, "it is fairly easy to obtain, but it is not nearly as plentiful as dates such as 1901, 1901-S, and 1907." The authors note that while the 1905 eagle is elusive in Gem, there are a handful of exemplary pieces known, among them the Superb Gem offered here. Pale yellow-gold surfaces display immense cartwheel luster beneath a thin veil of patina. The strike is excellent, and only a handful of flaws appear on either side; most visible are a mark to the left of the 1 in the date and a handful of small rim disturbances. Census: 7 in 67, 0 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N7079)
