Not Sold Description
1869-S $10 AU 55 PCGS. Even though the Philadelphia Mint shipped 6 obverse and 2 reverse dies west in October of 1868, only 6,430 eagles emerged from the San Francisco facility the following year. An elusive rarity in any level of preservation, the present near-Mint specimen is just below Condition Census for the issue. The surfaces are curiously smooth for a circulated gold coin from the frontier era. Although ample remnants of reflectivity are visible at select light angles, the surfaces exhibit a predominantly copper-gold appearance. Quite well impressed save for the star centrils, the importance of this lovely example should be obvious to gold enthusiasts. NGC and PCGS combined report only 4 examples in AU 55 with 4 finer (6/99).
