Auction 360 | Lot 30645 » Eagles » Liberty Eagles
1883-S $10 MS66 PCGS. The Finest Known! H. W. Bass, Jr. This is a wonder coin which is a country mile ahead of any other specimen of this date. The surfaces are stunning, with a strong glass needed to see a few trivial signs of contact. The luster is radiant for an eagle of this period, and the color ranges from yellow-gold at the centers to rose-gold in the fields and a touch of greenish-gold at the rims. Fully struck throughout with no signs of weakness found. Identifiable simply by the superb quality of this coin, and a tiny dark speck on the top corner of Liberty's forehead next to her hair. The mintage for the year came in at a low 38,000 pieces, and while overshadowed by the pathetic 800 pieces of the 1883-O released, the 1883-S is quite scarce in its own right. Turning to the NGC and PCGS population reports, it is interesting to note that not only is this coin the finest graded, but the next grade level below in MS63. This coin simply has no competition, with quality so far above any other specimen of this date. A prize for the specialist.

Sharply struck and lustrous with a light overlay of reddish patina on each side. (PCGS# 8702)

1883-S $10 MS63 NGC. The otherwise orange-gold coloration lightens to golden-rose shades in the center of the obverse. Both sides are sharply struck with bright mint luster that provides memorable cartwheel visual effects as the surfaces rotate under the light. Scattered grade-defining abrasions include several moderate blemishes on the obverse.

The 1883-S was produced to the extent of only 38,000 pieces, and the majority of survivors are worn to either the VF or XF level. In terms of total number of coins known, the '83-S is equally as rare as the 1882-S, 1884-S, 1897-S, and 1900-S. We have handled only three MS63 representatives of the former issue over the past ten years:

1. Ex: Central States Signature Sale (Heritage, 4/2001), lot 7844. Certified by NGC.

2. Ex: Santa Clara Signature Sale (Heritage, 11/2002), lot 7705. A PCGS-certified example.

3. Ex: 2003 FUN Sale (Heritage, 1/2003), lot 8823.

NGC and PCGS combined report just four 1883-S eagles at the MS63 level with a lone MS66 PCGS example finer (2/04). (PCGS# 8702)

1883-S $10 MS62 PCGS. This is a splendid Mint State example and seldom found so fine. The mintage of this issue was a meager 38,000 coins, and probably the entire mintage entered circulation on the West coast. PCGS has only certified two finer examples of this date in nearly two decades of coin certification. Frosty and lustrous bright yellow-gold with hints of light pink color. Excellent eye appeal. Population: 6 in 62, 2 finer (10/05). (PCGS# 8702)
