Territorial Gold
1852 $10 Assay Office Ten Dollar AU58 PCGS. K-12a, R.4. Middle die state. Portions of the reverse border are weak, but most is strong. The obverse border is sharp. Some semiprooflike mirroring is visible in the fields amid attractive orange-gold patina. Sharp design elements show almost no discernible wear. K-12a is from the later period of the United States Assay Office's existence in San Francisco, when it was managed by the private coinage firm Curtis, Perry & Ward. This followed Moffat's retirement in February, 1852. Ten dollar pieces of this variety are scarce in high grade and highly sought-after. Population: 12 in 58, 23 finer (7/17).
