$4,350,000.00 USD
– SOLDThis one-of-a-kind production is one of the most highly coveted coins in all of U.S. history.
The 1907 $10 Rolled Edge is already one of the rarest coins in numismatics, and that’s just as a business strike! With a net mintage of only 42 pieces each and every known example is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars as a starting point.
In Proof, however, just a single example is known. It was owned by U.S. Mint Director F.A. Leach and also owned by the billionaire Texas Rangers owner Bob Simpson.
This museum class ultra rarity knows no equal in American numismatics, nor the world over. Even coins like the 1804 Draped Bust Silver Dollar (12 examples known) are selling for multiple seven-figure sums that are not unique like the present coin.
Even a regular Rolled Edge in MS67 carries a Collectors Universe valuation of $1,500,000 – and that’s with 41 other examples known across all grades! This PR67 example is simply in a league of its own!
If the 1933 Double Eagle recently sold for over $18 million (unique to own) there is no reason the value of this first year of issue 1907 $10 Rolled Edge isn’t worth its price of admission. It has limitless potential ahead of it!
The coin was designed with the inspiration of President Theodore Roosevelt and Master Sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens, whose pieces still adorn places like Central Park in New York City to this day. The intent was to beautify the nation’s coinage to be more like ancient Roman and Greek designs of beauty and elegance.
As coins were made for a commercial purpose first, the Rolled Edge ultimately had stacking issues and proved to be impractical for general circulation, so its production was stopped. The unique striking in Proof is all that is available for the world’s most prestigious collectors to acquire. The business strikes simply aren’t even in the same league despite being masterpieces unto themselves.
The rarity, beauty and provenance is simply unparalleled. This is a world class achievement for the collector who desires only the finest money can acquire. When the coin is significantly more important than the cash, you know you’ve found the right one. History can never be replicated like this again.
