Description

Popular, Low Mintage 1908-S Ten Dollar, MS65

1908-S $10 MS65 NGC. The 1908-S is more available than one would think from the low mintage of only 59,850 pieces. Its greatest availability, though, is from Very Fine through MS62. Above that examples become progressively scarcer and Gems are seldom seen. In fact, only 22 MS65 pieces have been certified by both of the major services (6/08). This is a nicely frosted example that displays the usual strong striking details on each side. The surfaces have a pronounced matte-like texture beneath the mint luster. Each side is notably clean with no mentionable abrasions.
