Description
1859-S Ten Dollar Gold, AU53
Low 7,000-Coin Mintage
1859-S $10 AU53 NGC. In the space between the sinking of the
S.S. Central America and the onset of the Civil War,
strikings of non-double-eagle gold coins at San Francisco were
small in absolute terms: just 7,000 1859-S eagles were struck, for
example. That mintage of a few thousand coins saw considerable
circulation, and even Choice XF examples rate as condition
rarities. This AU53 representative retains ample peach-laced yellow
luster and a hint of a swirl on the reverse. Better-defined on
central devices than the peripheries with scattered light abrasions
through the fields and a shallow pinscratch to the left of
Liberty's earlobe. Census: 6 in 53, 7 finer (3/25).Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2012), lot 4976; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2012), lot 5303; Dallas Signature (Heritage, 10/2012), lot 6034.(Registry values: N4719)
