Description

1889 Liberty Eagle, MS61
Rare in Mint State

1889 $10 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Between 1884 and the series end, the honor of lowest mintage issue falls to the 1889. A scant 4,440 business strikes were coined along with 45 proofs. The minimal production may have been due to the need to strike silver dollars, since the 1889 Philadelphia Morgan mintage exceeded 21 million pieces, the highest of the pre-1921 type. As one might expect, the 1889 ten is rare in Mint State. This well-struck sun-gold example has good luster and the expected smattering of small marks. Population: 24 in 61, 6 finer (3/16).
