1855 Wass, Molitor & Co. 10 Dollar Gold MS K-6 Values
Details
The 1855 Wass Molitor $10 was only known by a handful of pieces prior to the recovery of the S.S. Central America, which contained 25 examples. The finest known Kagin-6 is mint state, and any original example with luster would qualify inclusion in the condition census.
