IBERTY
1903
1877
.
PCGS graded AU-55
. Lovely golden toning with
reflective fields. Only 797 struck with merely 50 examples
estimated to have survived. A classic rarity from the 1870s
decade. Low mintage for any business strike, all of which
remaining 1877 Liberty tens which have any luster remain-
ing seem to display Prooflike fields from die polish. Possibly
so few were made that the dies failed to wear away the
polish by the time they were retired at the end of the year.
This particular coin is exceptionally choice for the grade,
the cheek on Liberty does have moderate tick marks, but
nothing deep or worthy of note elsewhere. The diagnostic
die polish is noted on IN and ST of the reverse motto.
Breen notes that possibly 10-12 survive, but we suggest
that number is perhaps closer to 15 to 20, which seems
more in line with the census figures published by the grad-
ing services. Well struck, with attractive toning.
