Description
1855-S Eagle, Amber-Gold AU50
Low-Mintage 'Sleeper' Date
1855-S $10 AU50 NGC. In the second year of its existence
(the first full year), the San Francisco Mint produced only 9,000
examples of the Liberty Head eagle. Silver quarters and half
dollars, along with gold half eagles and double eagles, were struck
in far larger quantities, so that the small eagle mintage goes
largely unnoticed, and the issue is a bit of a "sleeper" date. This
example shows the piquant slanted 5s in the date (as do all) on
surfaces that are attractive amber-gold, an original appearance.
Both ticks and wear are mostly trivial for the grade, although some
cuts appear on the lower reverse rim at 6 o'clock. The large S
mintmark is tilted and rather curiously positioned. Census: 4 in
50, 18 finer (7/16).From The Pennsylvania Common Man Collection of Liberty $10 Eagles.(Registry values: N4719)
