1854-S Eagle, Fully Struck MS62
Very Rare, Sole Finest at PCGS
First-Year San Francisco Issue

1854-S $10 MS62 PCGS. Large S mintmark. More than 123,000 examples of the eagle denomination were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1854, the debut year for the new U.S. mint. Even though many examples were saved of this issue, most are circulated; Mint State examples such as this lovely MS62 PCGS piece are conditional rarities. The piece is extremely well-preserved for the grade level, showing no marks of any consequence on either side (and really, even very few inconsequential marks). The strike is full throughout, and deep reddish-orange patina on both sides complements the top-notch eye appeal. This is the sole finest graded of the issue at PCGS; second-finest are three submissions in MS61. Population: 1 in 62, 0 finer (11/15).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 263K, PCGS# 8615, Greysheet# 9447)

Weight: 16.72 grams
