$10, 1855 AU-58 (PCGS). Medium yellow gold with much original lustre. Dig at Liberty's cheek noted. A pleasing specimen of the 1855 Philadelphia emission which, despite its considerable size, is quite uncommon in grades AU and higher. The present piece saw very little circulation. A lovely specimen and scarce so fine.
