1911 $10

Description

NGC 1911 PR 67. In 1911 only 95 proof tens were reportedly struck and, like the preceding PCGS Proof 65 1910, surviving examples are among the rarest of all 20th century gold issues. Akers (1980) only recorded 14 auction appearances over the 37 years he surveyed major gold sales, and estimates of survivors have generally been in the range of 20 pieces. We believe, however, that a somewhat larger number exists and estimate that today there are approximately 30-45 pieces in all grades.
Proofs of this year are of the earlier matte variety, as are all the following years as well, and they show a distinctive "mustard" coloration.
The preservation of the surfaces of this coin is extraordinary. We can find no contact marks or planchet flakes, and there is almost no variation in color on this magnificent specimen. In fact, the only flaw we have been able to locate is a tiny mark on the reverse rim at 4 o'clock. When viewed with a strong magnifier, each granule of the sandblast finish reflects light in a random pattern; viewed collectively, the coin has a multi-faceted sparkle whose overall visual appeal is undeniable.
As stated, the condition of this coin is exemplary. It would be impossible to exceed the condition of this piece and we cannot imagine how the eye appeal could be any stronger. There is one other Proof 67 that has been certified by NGC (4/94), and one piece graded as such by PCGS, according to current (June) data.
