1854-S Ten Dollar, MS61
One of the Finest Known, CAC-Endorsed

1854-S $10 MS61 PCGS. CAC. The 1854-S is a numismatically significant issue as it is the first eagle struck at the newly-opened San Francisco mint. It is common in circulated grades and dozens of nice About Uncirculated coins have come onto the market in the last few years from overseas sources. In Uncirculated grades, however, the 1854-S is rare with only three or four examples currently known. While the finest graded is a single PCGS MS62, we believe that the Jacobson coin is clearly finer given its exceptional originality and choice surfaces.

None of the four coins graded MS61 have ever come up for sale at auction until now. The PCGS MS62 mentioned above brought $35,250 in the 2016 FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2016), lot 5618.

For the collector of San Francisco eagles or the first-year-of-issue gold specialist, this is an opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional 1854-S eagle. The design elements are well-detailed and the lustrous orange-gold surfaces show the expected number of minor contact marks for the grade.
Acquired from Douglas Winter Numismatics at the 2015 FUN Convention.
