Bright AU 53 1856-S Ten--A Mid Condition Census Coin

1856-S AU 53 PCGS. Large S. A scarcer variety of this otherwise common issue. Discovered by John Clapp before 1942, the Large S coins possibly represent the last of three deliveries of eagles that year, this final shipment consisted of only 2,500 coins delivered in December. Generally '56-S tens are not found finer than XF, and at the AU 53 level this piece is tied with several others as third finest in the condition census. This is an attractive coin that has bright, semi-reflective fields and light orange-gold color with just a tinge of red. Numerous small abrasions are scattered about, the most obvious ones are an angling mark in the field out from Liberty's eye and a small cluster between star 8 and the top of the hair.
