1862-S Liberty Eagle, AU55
Elusive, Low-Mintage Issue

1862-S $10 AU55 PCGS. A modest mintage of 12,500 Liberty eagles was accomplished at the San Francisco Mint in 1862. The coins were released into circulation and few high quality examples were saved by contemporary collectors. PCGS CoinFacts estimates the surviving population at 60-80 examples in all grades today. Accordingly, this low mintage issue is rarely encountered in better AU grades, and Mint State specimens are virtually unobtainable. This attractive lemon-gold specimen is only moderately abraded, since only a couple of marks on the upper reverse field merit mention. Substantial mint luster and a decent strike confirm the eye appeal. Population: 7 in 55, 4 finer (4/20).
