Republic 10 Centavos 1870-GW Choice XF, San Jose mint, KM111. Scarcer mid-type date which is traditionally found in very poorly struck state (evidence of low die striking pressure), similarly to the rarer 1868 and 1872 dates. Albeit being lightly cleaned, the present specimen is nearly as made from a technical point of view; perhaps likely to be underappreciated upon casual glance, it is nevertheless pedigreed to Fred Mayer and Norweb, and among the highest graded examples seen by the cataloguer based on wear and surface quality.
Estimate: 300-500 USD
