 $10.00. 1885'S'. Partial out of collar strike. Choice About Uncirculated. Struck partially out of collar, with a large flange of extruded metal from 9:00 to 1:00 along the obverse rim. This extended flange robbed the coin of metal to flow into the reeding at the lower edge, causing poor definition in the reeding at this point. Green gold and lustrous yellow-gold surfaces exhibit a solitary carbon spot above Miss Liberty's head. Striking errors among gold coins are rare and are yet rarer among such a high denomination, as quality control was rather rigorous for gold coins.
