Description
1860-S Liberty Ten, AU55
One Finer Coin at PCGS
1860-S $10 AU55 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint concentrated on
double eagle production in the 1860s and mintages of Liberty eagles
were uniformly small during this period. The 1860-S ten claims a
tiny production total of 5,000 pieces and few examples were saved
for numismatic purposes. The issue was unknown in Mint State until
a couple of Uncirculated specimens were recovered from the wreck of
the S.S. Republic.This impressive Choice AU example offers well-detailed design elements with some light traces of wear on the high points. The vivid orange-gold surfaces show reddish highlights and prooflike reflectivity clings to the devices. Only minor abrasions are present and eye appeal is strong for the grade. Population: 4 in 55, 1 finer (2/14).
