Description
1859-S Ten Dollar, AU53
Underrated San Francisco Rarity
1859-S $10 AU53 NGC. "The 1859-S eagle, like most of the
S-Mint dates from the 1850s and 1860s, is an underappreciated
rarity that would be worth many times its current value if date
collectors focused their attention on No Motto eagles.": Thus
Garrett and Guth begin their narrative on this issue in their gold
coin Encyclopedia. The 1859-S comes from a small mintage of
7,000 coins, and PCGS estimates that only 40 to 60 pieces survive
overall. The combined NGC and PCGS certified population of 75 coins
likely includes resubmissions. Only a single example is designated
as Mint State, grading merely MS60. The 1859-S is every bit as rare
as its New Orleans counterpart, even though the O-mint issue has an
even smaller mintage of 2,300 coins.This AU '59-S is boldly detailed with much luster remaining in the fields. Each side shows scattered abrasions and bright straw-gold patina. Stars 1 and 2 show trivial weakness, being the only ill-defined portion of the design. Census: 5 in 53, 6 finer (7/16).
