Description

1860-S Ten Dollar Liberty, AU53
Low-Mintage San Francisco Rarity

1860-S $10 AU53 NGC. The 1860-S ten dollar Liberty is a great rarity, coming from a mintage of only 5,000 coins. PCGS estimates that 30 to 45 pieces are known, primarily in circulated grades. We have never seen a Mint State example of this issue appear in our auctions. NGC and PCGS combined report three coins in Mint State, two of which were recovered from the S.S. Republic shipwreck. Our Auction Archives include 40 prior appearances of an 1860-S eagle, although those listings include numerous reappearances of just a few individual coins. Moreover, 14 of the pieces we have handled overall were Details-designated coins with cleaning, repair work, et cetera.

This problem-free About Uncirculated example stands apart from its peers. Not only is it straight graded by NGC, but the surfaces are undeniably original, with elements of luster remaining in the protected peripheral regions. Each side displays balanced peach and olive-gold color, complementing the bold detail of the devices. An unobtrusive rim graze below the 6 in the date serves as a pedigree marker. Census: 4 in 53, 7 finer (11/21).(Registry values: N7079)
