Condition Rarity 1926 Eagle MS66

1926 $10 MS66 NGC. As a date, the 1926 eagle is the second most common of all the Indian Head ten dollar gold coins. Gems are not difficult to locate. However, the situation changes dramatically at the MS66 level. In The Official Red Book of Auction Records 1994-2003, Jeff Garrett and John Dannreuther list only three auction appearances of a 1926 MS66 in the entire 10-year period. The 1926 eagle defines condition rarity!
The present coin is a particularly pleasing example of this Premium Gem rarity. The fields are virtually free of abrasions, with only a short "dig" above D in the denomination to serve as a pedigree marker. The obverse displays thick, frosted mint luster with intense red-gold color and generous portions of lilac interspersed over each each side. The strike is strong and crisp overall with all of the details of Saint-Gaudens beautiful design shown to best advantage. This exquisite Premium Gem eagle represents the highest goal a collector can aspire to for this date(Registry values: N4719)
