Description

Lustrous, Condition Rarity 1901-S Eagle, MS67

1901-S $10 MS67 NGC. The 1901-S ten dollar, sporting a mintage approaching 3 million coins, is one of the most common dates in the series. NGC and PCGS have certified approximately 26,000 Mint State pieces, about 1,900 of which are MS65! Aside from the high mintage, Walter Breen helps to account for the availability of the 01-S eagle in his Complete Encyclopedia of U.S. and Colonial Coins: "Common in mint state from one or several hoards, totaling over 1,000."
The MS66 population drops to about 330 specimens, and only 27 in MS67, with none finer. The present Superb Gem exhibits full, pleasing luster, and crisply struck design elements. Peach-gold color imbued with light green adorns both sides, each of which reveals just a few grade-consistent marks. Some interesting die cracks are visible on portions of the reverse periphery.(Registry values: N7079)
