Description

1854-S $10 AU58 PCGS. CAC. The debut year of coinage at the San Francisco branch mint -- occupying the same building formerly used for the U.S. Assay Office -- saw nearly 124,000 gold eagles produced. Commercial need for the coins in the Gold Rush economy meant that few pieces survived in Mint State, and even high-end AU coins are scarce today. This is a rare CAC-approved near-Mint example. Pleasing orange-gold patina and sharp details characterize each side, while light handling wear defines the grade. Population: 28 in 58 (2 in 58+), 8 finer. CAC: 14 in 58, 2 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N1793)
