Description

1862-S $10 Fine 12 PCGS. CAC. The San Francisco Mint struck eagles during each of its first 20 years of operation, but the mintages were invariably much lower than their double eagle equivalents. The 1862-S ten has a tiny production of 12,500 pieces, and none were saved for numismatic reasons until the turn of the next century. PCGS estimates just 60 to 80 survivors. Yet the present butter-gold example is both problem-free and affordable. A diagonal mark on the left (facing) wing provides an identifier. CAC: 2 in 12, 10 finer (11/23).
