Description

1862-S Ten Dollar, AU58
Just a Single Coin Finer

1862-S $10 AU58 PCGS. The recovery of the S.S. Republic produced only a single example of this date, testifying to the issue's rarity. Only 12,500 coins were struck, and the issue served its intended purpose as a medium of exchange in West Coast commerce. As a result, examples are rare in all grades. PCGS reports a single coin finer in MS61, and NGC shows no finer submissions (11/18). This near-Mint ten retains ample luster around the devices and exhibits yellow-gold color overall. A number of small marks are scattered over each side, and the slightest trace of friction occurs on the high points of the otherwise sharply detailed design elements. This is an important opportunity to acquire one of the finest examples from a rare San Francisco Mint issue. Population: 6 in 58 (4 in 58+), 1 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N4719)
