Description
1855-S Eagle, Amber-Gold AU53
Low-Mintage 'Sleeper' Date
1855-S $10 AU53 NGC. In the second year of its existence
(the first full year), the San Francisco Mint produced only 9,000
examples of the Liberty eagle. Silver quarters and half dollars,
along with gold half eagles and double eagles, were struck in far
larger quantities. The 1855-S eagle's minuscule mintage goes
largely unnoticed, and the issue is a bit of a "sleeper." This
example shows the slanted 5s in the date (as do all) and attractive
amber-gold color. Both ticks and wear are 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.
