Description

1871-S Liberty Eagle, AU53 CAC
Elusive Issue in All Grades

1871-S $10 AU53 PCGS. CAC. The 1871-S Liberty eagle claims a mintage of 16,500 pieces, and the survival rate for this issue is unusually low, making the date quite elusive in all grades. Most examples seen are in the VF-XF grade range. This attractive AU53 specimen retains much of its original mint luster over lightly abraded orange and rose-gold surfaces. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. Population: 11 in 53, 12 finer. CAC: 5 in 53, 4 finer (10/25).
