Description
1869-S Eagle, MS61
Tied for the Finest Certified
1869-S $10 MS61 NGC. As the San Francisco Mint concentrated
on double eagle production throughout the 1860s and 1870s, the
mintages of smaller denomination gold coins remained at extremely
small levels, and that was especially true of eagles. That facility
coined just 6,430 such coins in 1869, and the few survive typically
grade VF and XF. Examples that grade AU are rare, and Mint State
pieces are extremely rare. The present piece is the only
NGC-certified Mint State 1869-S eagle, while PCGS has graded one in
MS60 and another in MS61 (1/18). An impressive orange-gold eagle,
this piece has only microscopic marks on its satiny surfaces with
full mint brilliance and sharp design motifs.From The Admiral Collection. (Registry values: N7079)
