Description

1908-S Ten Dollar, MS65
Beautifully Preserved

1908-S $10 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Half Dome. The San Francisco Mint struck limited amounts of high-denomination gold in 1908 -- 22,000 double eagles and 59,850 eagles. Both of these issues represent challenging dates in their respective series. For the 1908-S eagle, Mint State examples are scarce in all grades and exist primarily in the MS61 to MS64 range, with the majority in the lower end of that spectrum. Gem examples are decidedly rare, and only a handful of pieces in this grade carry CAC endorsement for their quality within the grade. The present coin is one of those top-tier Gem examples, surpassed by only a limited number of higher-grade coins. Vibrant, frosty orange-gold mint luster adorns boldly struck design elements, while a distinct lack of abrasions on the obverse produces significant visual appeal. A thin vertical mark behind the eagle's head on the reverse serves as a pedigree marker. Population: 13 in 65 (1 in 65+), 25 finer. CAC: 5 in 65, 8 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N7079)
