<B>1909 $10 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Despite a nominal mintage that is about three times that of the well-known 1908-S rarity, the 1909 is comparably rare in Gem grade. In MS66, it actually edges out its mintmarked cohort. PCGS has certified nine 1909s in MS66, with only two coins finer, while it has graded 10 1908-S in MS66, with eight pieces in MS67 and two in MS68 (5/07)! A similar situation exists at NGC, which has graded five 1908-S in MS66 with six finer, yet it has certified only three examples of the 1909 in MS66, with three MS67s finer.<BR> It is more than likely that the two finer-graded PCGS examples of the 1909 (both MS67) are in strong hands, making this coin essentially among the handful of finest obtainable. And what a glorious coin it is, with radiant cartwheel luster beaming from the yellow-gold, mint-green, and orange-gold surfaces. The strike is crisp and bold throughout. Were it not for a single tick on the Indian's cheek, just behind the mouth, this coin might merit an even finer grade. As it stands, it is as desirable as it is rare.<BR><I>From The Belle Glade Collection, Part Two.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
