Description

1859-S Eagle, AU50
Great Eye Appeal

1859-S $10 AU50 NGC. Large S mintmark, as always seen on this low-mintage issue of 7,000 coins, most of which circulated extensively in the pre-Civil War West of the late 1850s-early 1860s. This golden-yellow AU50 example shows fewer marks and better eye appeal than expected for the grade, along with a sharp strike. Census: 5 in 50, 11 finer (2/14).
From the Collection of Donald E. Bently, sold for the benefit of the Bently Foundation.(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2643, PCGS# 8630, Greysheet# 9457)
