1910-S $10

Description

PCGS 1910-S MS 64. With a mintage of 811,000 pieces, one would expect a coin such as the 1910-S eagle to be a relatively available issue. And so it is in lower grades. However, the situation changes dramatically when one looks to the mint state grades. It is very scarce in all grades of uncirculated with Akers even rating MS 60 coins as a high R.6. In near-gem and gem condition it is very rare and ranks as a high R.7 in MS 64. Only 3 pieces have been so graded by PCGS (5/94) with 1 coin finer.
The surfaces of this piece are well struck in most areas and the coin overall has a pronounced satiny texture. There is only the faintest trace of the roughness seen close to the date on most examples of this issue. There are a couple of small marks on the cheek of the Native American and an angling scuff on the neck that could serve as identifiers for pedigree purposes for this conditionally significant coin. Light reddish color. An important coin that is sure to be of interest to many bidders.
