Description

1872-S Liberty Eagle, AU55
Low-Mintage S-Mint Issue

1872-S $10 AU55 NGC. The San Francisco Mint struck a minuscule mintage of 17,300 Liberty eagles in 1872. As might be expected, the issue is elusive in all grades today and Mint State examples are prime condition rarities. This attractive Choice AU specimen shows only light wear on the well-detailed design elements and much interior detail remains intact. The lightly abraded orange-gold surfaces retain traces of original mint luster in sheltered areas. Census: 36 in 55 (1 in 55+ ), 12 finer (8/25).(Registry values: N2998)
From The Brittany Legacy Collection, Part I.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2653, PCGS# 8665, Greysheet# 9476)

Weight: 16.72 grams
