Description
1859-S Liberty Eagle, AU55
Underrated West Coast Rarity
1859-S $10 AU55 NGC. The San Francisco Mint dutifully struck
Liberty eagles every year from the facility's 1854 opening through
1874. But the gold denomination favored on the West Coast was the
double eagle, and most S-mint ten dollar issues had paltry mintages
prior to 1879. The 1859-S eagle production was a mere 7,000 pieces,
and PCGS estimates a mere 40 to 60 survivors, a smaller number than
the more celebrated 1870-CC which has an estimated 45 to 60
survivors. The median grade is XF45, but the present Choice AU
specimen has minimal wear. The apricot-gold surfaces reveal luster
in protected areas, and the sole identifying mark is a slight
obverse rim nick at 3 o'clock. Census: 3 in 55, 4 finer
(6/23).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2643, PCGS# 8630, Greysheet# 9457)
