Description
1874-S Liberty Gold $10 PCGS AU58 HW Bass CAC When this coin sold in the Oct 1999 Bass Sale at Bowers and Merena, it was finest known at PCGS AU58. 22 years later there are 4-58's and despite all auction appearances saying the 58 is finest, there is one mysterious recent MS-61 in the PCGS census. In any case, this is a marvelous coin on the census and the only one with the Bass provenance. A light rub away from elusive mint-state, the fields have reflectivity and it is a strong strike and orange gold color especially on the reverse. A perfect coin for the Registry Collector
