1913-S Indian Eagle, MS64
Low-Mintage Branch Mint Key

1913-S $10 MS64 PCGS Secure. The 1913-S Indian eagle claims a low production total of 66,000 pieces and few high-quality specimens were saved by contemporary collectors. Most of the coins were released into circulation at the time of issue, where they circulated heavily in both domestic and foreign trade. As a a result, most examples seen today are in circulated grades, in the VF-AU grade range. In his Indian Gold Coins of the 20th Century, Mike Fuljenz notes:

"The 1913-S Eagle is regarded as one of the great condition rarities in all of the 20th century U.S. gold series. It is moderately scarce even in circulated grades and the small numbers of Uncirculated pieces that exist consist mainly of MS60 to MS62 pieces. In MS63, this date is rare and it is very rare in MS64."

The present coin is an attractive Choice specimen with sharply detailed design elements in most areas. Just a trace of the usual softness is evident on the feathers on the eagle's shoulder. Like many examples seen, this coin exhibits a thin line of roughness that parallels the rim in the lower-left obverse field. A slight wire rim is evident around portions of the obverse. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces show only minor signs of contact and vibrant mint luster adds to the outstanding eye appeal. Population: 15 in 64 (1 in 64+), 4 finer (7/18).(Registry values: N7079)
