Description

With an original mintage quantity of just 82,400 pieces, this 1902 $10 Liberty head gold coin was in short supply in the year it was issued. Well over a century later, it is believed only 1,250 examples of this date are still in existence, and of those, it is estimated that a mere 750 remain in mint state. Count yourself one of the fortunate few to own an uncirculated example when you capture this gleaming gold coin, which is encapsulated by NGC with an MS62 grade. Vital statistics are: weight 16.7 grams; composition 90% gold and 10% copper; original mintage quantity 82,400; estimated survival population 1,250 pieces.

This coin is one of twelve NGC graded $10 Liberty Head gold coins in this auction. All twelve can be viewed in the Historical/Political/Pop Culture/Americana category.
