Description:
Attractive Gem 1874 Eagle
1874 $10 MS65 NGC. This With Motto Liberty eagle issue hits a middle ground for its decade; it is not so rare as many other contemporaneous dates, though Garrett and Guth point out three issues from the late 1870s that are substantially more available. Garrett and Guth further note that while the 1874 is "easy to find" in almost any circulated grade, " ... Mint State examples are obtainable but they remain scarce."
Gems such as the present piece take that scarcity to another level, since NGC and PCGS have certified just five such coins between them, with none finer (8/08). It is impressively detailed with creamy luster that enlivens the beautifully preserved surfaces, generally pale wheat-gold with occasional deeper accents.(Registry values: N10218) (#8669)
