<B>1913 $10 PR64 PCGS.</B></I> The fine "sandblast" finish used in 1912 was also used to coin the 1913 proofs. As per Walter Breen in his 1988 <I>Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins</B></I>, this finish displays "millions of sparkling facets under a magnifier." The mint struck 71 proof ten dollar coins in 1913. Fewer than 40 have been certified by PCGS and NGC. <BR> The eye appeal is superb on this near-Gem. Both sides yield a khaki-gold color with subtle hints of light green. The strike is exacting, with no areas revealing hints of incompleteness. Close examination shows a few tiny obverse ticks, just barely keeping this remarkable specimen from full Gem status. Population: 5 in 64, 5 finer (11/07).<BR><I>From The Madison Collection.</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>)
