Description

1871-S Ten Dollar AU53

1871-S $10 AU53 NGC. The 1871-S eagle had a only mintage of 16,500 pieces, a fraction of the double eagle production at San Francisco that year. An low survival rate has made the '71-S eagle additionally scarce. Partly lustrous examples such as this one are particularly dear, since Uncirculated specimens are unknown. Well struck on most of the design motifs, with a combination of muted green-gold and reddish coloration. Evenly worn with the usual number of small marks and wispy hairlines. Census: 13 in 53, 19 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
