Description
1859-S Ten Dollar, AU55
Finest at PCGS
50 to 75 Coins Extant
1859-S $10 AU55 PCGS. The 7,000 ten dollar gold coins struck
at the San Francisco Mint in 1859 were made to circulate. There
were few collectors interested in setting these mintmarked coins
aside, and hard money was desperately needed to satisfy commercials
needs. Consequently, the 1859-S is a rarity at all levels with only
50 to 75 survivors. Its importance is only just starting to catch
on, and the issue remains underrated. None exist in Mint State, and
this Choice AU representative is tied with two others at the top of
the PCGS Population Report. It features profound orange-gold
color and remaining luster that is more lively on the reverse. The
centers are well-defined, especially the eagle, while the stars are
slightly soft. Each side exhibits myriad abrasions. Population: 3
in 55, 0 finer (7/18).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2643, PCGS# 8630, Greysheet# 9457)
