Description

1859-S Liberty Eagle, AU55
Underappreciated Rarity

1859-S $10 AU55 NGC. Since the First San Francisco Mint concentrated on double eagle production, the 1859-S ten dollar mintage was only 7,000 pieces. None were given numismatic consideration, and PCGS estimates only "40 to 60 known," comparable with the 1870-CC. The median grade is XF, and only a single example (an MS60 NGC coin) has been certified as Mint State. This butter-gold representative is well defined and displays fewer marks than anticipated for the grade. Luster fills the legends and devices. Housed in a circa-2000 holder. Census: 3 in 55, 4 finer (5/22).
