Description

1856-S $10 AU53 NGC. One of the earliest San Francisco Mint issues, the 1856-S is a scarce issue with a relatively low surviving population. This bright and lustrous example is minimally marked and shows only slight rub in the fields. The strike is sharp save for minor weakness on the high points and a couple of stars. It is nearly impossible to find a Mint State 1856-S ten, and an attractive AU53 example such as this would make an excellent substitute.(Registry values: N1793)
