Description

Bold Near-Gem 1897-S Ten Dollar

1897-S $10 MS64 PCGS. CAC. Although the original production was a substantial one approaching a quarter-million pieces, most of the 1897-S eagles circulated, and today the average grade, even of certified coins, is a bit less than Choice AU. Mint State examples are on the rare side, and most of them tend to be lower-Mint State examples. This near-Gem is exceptional for its surfaces and relative lack of singular abrasions. Glorious cartwheel luster radiates from both sides, with attractive orange-yellow patina. The strike is impeccable. Population: 2 in 64, 4 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 267F, PCGS# 8739, Greysheet# 9525)

Weight: 16.72 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
