Description

1859-S Ten Dollar Gold, AU55
Overall About 50 to 75 Examples Survive

1859-S $10 AU55 NGC. The early San Francisco Mint ten dollar gold issues struck from 1854 through 1866 are all characterized by low mintages and low survival rates. During this 13-year period the entire output of San Francisco Mint eagles amounted to just 316,000 coins, an average of only 24,000 pieces per year. More than one-third of this total production occurred in 1854, so the revised average for 1855 to 1866 was a mere 16,000 coins per year. Of course, in 1859 the S-mint eagle production was limited to just 7,000 coins. This piece is a Choice About Uncirculated example from that small mintage, with partially reflective fields and rich, green-gold surfaces that display nearly full satin luster. Splashes of pale orange color are evident on each side, adding extra eye appeal. NGC Census: 3 in 55, 4 finer (3/25).
