<B>1852 $10 Moffat & Co. Wide Date Ten Dollar VF35 NGC.</B></I> K-9, R.6. Incorrectly designated as "Close Date" (which would be K-8) on the NGC insert. Moffat & Co. operated the U.S. Assay Office, but that facility was unable to issue denominations of less than fifty dollars until later in 1852. Moffat & Co. met the demand for a ten dollar gold coin by striking it under their own name, which was legal prior to 1864. A typical strike affects the sharpness, but this green-gold example retains glimpses of mint luster. Distributed small marks are as expected given moderate circulation.
