<B>1855 $10 Wass Molitor Ten Dollar VF35 PCGS.</B></I> K-6, High R.5. Notable for the circular "plug" visible under the final digit of the date, which is believed to be where the coiner removed a 2 in order to indicate the correct year of manufacture. Although a number of these pieces were recovered from the <I>S.S. Central America,</B></I> this remains quite a scarce date and variety that is desirable in any grade. This is an olive-gold coin, with noticeable wear amid a good deal of surface contact; however, a good deal of detail remains visible. The strike is mushy, as always found. A curved scratch is visible on the right side of the eagle, while a similar prominent curved line extending from the 1 in the date to below star 2 is a planchet flaw (as struck).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
