Entry Details
PCGS Number: 10031 Coin Date: 1851 Denomination (Short): G$10 Denomination (Long): 10 Dollar Gold Variety: Baldwin Variety 2: K-4 Desg: MS Composition: Gold Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Private & Pioneer Gold Coinage Years: 1850-51 Mint Location: San Francisco Designer: Albrecht Kuner Edge: Finely Reeded Obverse Description: Liberty Head with BALDWIN & Co. on diadem, 1851, 13 stars around. Reverse Description: Federal eagle S.M.V. CALIFORNIA GOLD. TEN D. General Notes: The 1851 Baldwin $10s were only struck for a few months, but early in the obverse die’s life, a tiny cud formed on the rim at about 12:30, followed by a substantial cud at about 9:15, which ultimately joins with star 4. The issue is quite rare and is usually found somewhat weakly struck. There are a handful of examples called uncirculated by the third-party grading services. An original, choice AU coin would be considered for the condition census. PCGS #: 10031 NGC ID: ANHL
