Choice EF 1852 Wass, Molitor & Co. $10
Small Head Variety 1852 Wass, Molitor & Co. $10. Small Head. Kagin-3. Rarity-6. EF-45 PCGS. Deep yellow-gold throughout with a whisper here and there of mint frost and olive iridescence. Surfaces somewhat roughened from its stay in circulation, though most of the blemishes are only available under a loupe. Styled after the federal issues of the day, Liberty’s tiara reads W M & Co. rather than the federal LIBERTY; there are 13 stars around and the date below Miss Liberty’s icon. The 2 of the date is on a “plug,” which amounted to a highly unusual method of manufacture; rather than create a new die, it appears as if a 1 was drilled from the die and replaced with a 2.
This rare privately struck eagle from the halcyon days of California’s Gold Rush is among the finest certified by PCGS to date, and is no doubt a coin that should be considered Condition Census for the type. Watch the California gold specialists come out in full bidding force this one!
PCGS Population: 2; 2 finer (both AU-53).
PCGS #10345
