1862-S Ten Dollar Liberty, AU55
Underappreciated San Francisco Issue

1862-S $10 AU55 NGC. Coming from a mintage of only 12,500 pieces, the 1862-S ten dollar Liberty is scarce in all grades. NGC and PCGS combined report 118 grading events -- just two of which are in Mint State -- but that figure likely includes duplications. PCGS estimates that only 60 to 80 pieces are extant. The auction appearance rate of this issue suggests the survivorship is closer to the high end of the PCGS estimate. The 1862-S eagle was produced more than three decades before collecting large denomination gold by mintmark was even a consideration for collectors, explaining the issue's scarcity overall, but especially in high grade. The present Choice AU example displays remnants of luster in the protected portions of the fields, with light wear over design elements that retain significant detail. Pleasing orange-gold patina is original. Census: 11 in 55, 3 finer (11/22).(Registry values: N4719)
