Elusive 1913 Proof Eagle

1913 $10 Proof Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .94 suggests Altered Surfaces as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. Our in-house graders have determined the coin has Proof Details. Something was applied to the obverse rim between 7 and 9 o'clock that has dulled the surface in that thin area. The surfaces are rich brown-gold, with relatively large-grain sandblasting from the matte proof manufacture. Each side shows several shallow nicks that show up as bright, shiny spots.
Akers' recent Handbook notes that the proof 1913 eagle, with a recorded mintage of 71 coins, is the second-rarest Indian eagle in high grades, barely edging out the 1910 and 1912. PCGS has graded only 14 examples of the 1913 proof in all grades (3/10).
