1854-S Ten Dollar, MS62
First San Francisco Issue
Tied for Finest

1854-S $10 MS62 PCGS. The first 260 1854-S eagles were struck on April 3, the very day the San Francisco Mint opened for business. Another 123,566 ten dollar gold pieces would be struck before the year was out. These coins were desperately needed in circulation, and virtually none were saved. Miraculously, this MS62 survives among a small group of top-graded representatives totaling not more than five or six coins, if that. Frosty orange and rose-gold surfaces exhibit needle-sharp strike detail from the centers to the rims on each side. Scattered shallow abrasions have no effect whatsoever on the appeal of this first-year California rarity. Population: 4 in 62 (1 in 62+), 0 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N7079)

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