1860-S Eagle, AU53
Underrated and Important

1860-S $10 AU53 PCGS. Advanced series specialists recognize the importance of this issue, especially in higher grades, while the casual numismatist might look at the 5,000-coin mintage and assume that the 1860-S eagle is generally available. At PCGS CoinFacts, Doug Winter estimates that just 35 to 45 examples are known in all grades, writing: "Unless you know this series, you are probably not aware of the true rarity of the 1860-S, This is a very rare coin in all grades and one that is even harder to locate than its small original mintage of 5,000 would suggest." The combined PCGS and NGC population data also suggest an issue that is available, reporting seven pieces graded AU53 and 21 finer submissions. There is no question that those reports include a considerable number of resubmissions. This impressive piece displays substantial luster and minor, grade-consistent marks on its lovely honey-gold surfaces. It ranks as one of the 12 finest examples that have appeared in our auctions during the last 30 years. Population: 4 in 53, 13 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N7079)
