1857-S Ten Dollar, AU58+
Lustrous Condition Rarity

1857-S $10 AU58+ PCGS. CAC. The 1857-S date and mintmark combination is famous in the double eagle series, being associated with thousands of coins recovered from the S.S. Central America. However, no significant quantities of Liberty tens from 1857 San Francisco production were recovered, and this issue is night and day rarer. Only 26,000 pieces were struck, and merely a handful of coins are known in Mint State today. AU pieces are rare. This is the sole AU58+ coin at PCGS, and it is one of the top five 1857-S tens with CAC endorsement (3/21). The strike is bold, with only slight friction over the devices and light marks in the fields. Luster glows in the peripheral recesses, producing excellent visual appeal. Population: 3 in 58 (1 in 58+), 6 finer. CAC: 2 in 58, 3 finer (3/21).(Registry values: N2998)
