Description

PCGS 1853 Assay Office Ten-Dollar, 900 Thous. VF 20. K-16, Low R.6. Struck between March and April of 1853, the ten and twenty-dollar gold coins from the Assay Office served in a quasi-official capacity for actual coinage until the mint opened in 1854. This piece is well worn, and naturally shows the handling marks one would assume would be present on a coin with forty points of wear. There are several long field marks on the obverse below AMERICA, but these have all but worn away with the extensive circulation this coin has seen. Original and uncleaned. Listed on page 267 of the 1994 Guide Book.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# ANHB, PCGS# 10007, GSID# 11694)
