1839/8 $10 Large Letters AU50 NGC. Traces of an underlying digit remain beneath the right outside curves of the 9 in the date. The Large Letters variety is more easily identified by the position of the date and star 13 to the bust truncation. This example is a pleasing orange-gold coin, minimally abraded, with glimpses of luster remaining primarily at the margins. The motifs retain sharp definition despite 10 points of wear. Census: 17 in 50, 78 finer (10/16).
