Description

1857 Liberty Head Eagle, AU55
Very Scarce Issue

1857 $10 AU55 PCGS. A relatively small mintage of 16,606 ten dollar gold coins were struck at Philadelphia in 1857. Only about 140 coins are estimated to survive in all grades, making this a very scarce issue, and a rarity in higher grades. Rich yellow-gold with orange overtones for an attractive appearance. The central devices display good detail, with some stars slightly weak, typical of the issue. Nice luster in sheltered areas of the coin, which has just small marks and only the slightest wear on high points. PCGS Population: 14 in 55, 18 finer (9/25).(Registry values: N1793)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 263T, PCGS# 8622, Greysheet# 9378)
