1870-S Ten Dollar, AU55
Only One Finer at NGC

1870-S $10 AU55 NGC. Like all San Francisco ten dollar issues struck between 1857 and 1877, the 1870-S is a rare low mintage issue. From the production of 8,000 pieces, PCGS states "80 to 100 known." Both NGC and PCGS have certified an example as VG8, an indication that the coins circulated for many years in the Old West. The present AU55 representative is exceeded at NGC by only a solitary AU58 specimen (6/25). Luster outlines design elements, and fills the curls and plumage. Small marks are scattered, though none are worthy of comment. Census: 13 in 55, 1 finer (5/25).
