1907 $10 Rolled Edge MS66 PCGS.<p>Unlike the 1907 Wire Rim, the similarly dated Rolled Edge delivery was intended for general circulation. To protect the surfaces and eliminate the problems associated with the high wire rim, the Mint modified the original Indian Eagle design to include a protective rim. A total of 31,550 pieces (some sources say 20,000 coins, others 34,100 pieces) were produced, but concern over possible public criticism caused all but 42 examples to be melted prior to release. The 42 coins that escaped destruction did so either through the Assay Commission, or through collectors with inside connections who obtained examples directly from the Mint. This is a typically attractive coin for the issue with exemplary luster characteristics. Both sides are drenched in rich reddish-gold and orange-gold colors with a pleasing blend of satin and frosty features. The strike is a little soft in the centers--a diagnostic trait of the issue--and the otherwise pristine surfaces reveal a few alloy spots in the left obverse, upper reverse, and lower right reverse fields. An obviously important coin for the advanced Indian Eagle collector.From the Peter Crist Collection. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
