1915-S $10 MS65 PCGS. The 1915-S is an absolute as well as a condition rarity in the ten dollar Indian series. Only 59,000 pieces were struck, and apparently few were shipped overseas as no hoards are mentioned in the literature and so few Uncirculated pieces known. Probably fewer than 200 pieces are known today in all grades of Uncirculated, with the vast majority of these graded MS63 or less. At the Gem level, only seven other coins have been certified with four in higher grades (11/06).

The new The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens as Illustrated by the Morse Collection mentions a couple of the finest examples of this issue that are known, and indicates the price levels the 1915-S can attain when conditions are right: "The finest example certified to date is an NGC MS67, a coin that has not been offered at public auction (at that grade) that we are aware of. The two 1915-S tens that have realized the highest price at public auction were both sold in 1989. Superior sold a PCGS MS65 that brought $198,000, and Heritage sold a PCGS MS66 later that same year, but after the 1989 investor-crazed market had softened. The latter coin realized $192,500."

This is a particularly clean and attractive example. It is also a coin that has been an integral part of three major collections of ten Indians. The surfaces have pronounced granularity (not always the case on 1915-S tens) with satiny mint luster. Both sides exhibit lovely reddish-gold color with occasional flecks of lilac interspersed. The only identifiers that can be reliably used for pedigree purposes are a short horizontal mark below the eye on the obverse, and a small alloy stain at 5 o'clock on that same side.

1915-S $10 MS64 PCGS. The 1915-S has the third lowest With Motto mintage (59,000 pieces), behind the 1911-D and 1911-S issues. Not even the highly touted 1913-S has a lower mintage. Very few '15-S coins are known in higher Mint State grades. In fact, PCGS and NGC combined have certified only 30 pieces in MS64, and 10 examples finer (9/05). When it is considered that some of these are undoubtedly resubmissions, the difficulty in acquiring this issue at this grade level becomes apparent.

The coin offered in this lot has bright, somewhat grainy surfaces that emit radiant luster. Peach-gold patina with faint greenish undertones overrun each side, and the design elements are sharply impressed. A few minor contact marks on the Indian's face preclude a higher grade. This is an extremely important opportunity to acquire this rarity. Population: 19 in 64, 5 finer (9/05).

1915-S MS 64 NGC. The 1915-S is one of the rarest S-mint ten Indians, with high grade pieces such as this being very elusive and in great demand by collectors. The mintage of 59,000 pieces goes far toward explaining the rarity of this important issue. In high grades (MS 63 and better) the '15-S is a major condition rarity with such coins rated a High R.7 by David Akers. As always, this piece shows excellent luster characteristics. The surfaces have a fine-grain matte-like texture with satiny mint luster. The striking definition is uncommonly well defined and the only detracting elements (if one could call them that) are a single alloy spot on each side. Population: 2 in 64, only 2 are finer (8/98).

The surfaces have a fine-grain matte-like texture with satiny mint luster and a lovely, intermingled rose and lilac patina over both sides. Sharply struck, except at the front of the eagle's wing, the only marks we can find are a couple of tiny ones just below the eye of the Native American. This is the finest '15-S certified by NGC (10/95). Only one coin has been so graded by PCGS (11/95) with two finer (both MS 66).

Not even the highly touted 1913-S has a lower mintage. Very few are known in higher Mint State grades. This example has a grainy luster that is typical of large gold coins from the San Francisco Mint during this era. Some subtle pinkish-red patina lurks in the protected areas. A couple of tiny surface marks prevent a higher grade and a substantially higher price. This example possibly represents the optimal grade for the issue, combining aesthetic appeal with price. Population: 27 in 63, 24 finer (8/05).

1915-S $10 MS64 PCGS. This issue is one of the rarities in the series, and has the fourth lowest mintage of any No Periods issue. Just 59,000 were struck. Only the 1913-S, 1920-S, and 1930-S issues are rarer, among all San Francisco Mint issues. A wonderful example with soft yellow gold lustre. Very sharply struck and exceptionally attractive. Few survive in high-quality, with only five finer examples certified by PCGS. Population: 14 in 64, 5 finer (3/04).

1915-S MS 64 PCGS. While not as rare as the 1913-S, 1920-S, or 1930-S, the 1915-S is one of the most conditionally challenging San Francisco Mint issues in the Indian Head eagle series. Only 59,000 pieces were struck and the average grade among survivors is only XF 45. As befits the issue, the surfaces show rich mint luster and a somewhat satiny texture. Intermingled shades of rose and gold patina are noted throughout and the smooth surfaces have some claim to a full Gem grade. Population: 11 in 64, only 4 finer.
