Description
1873-S Liberty Eagle, AU58
Low-Mintage Branch Mint Issue
1873-S $10 AU58 NGC. The San Francisco Mint struck a modest
production of only 12,000 Liberty eagles in 1873, a minuscule
mintage in absolute terms, but fairly typical in the context of the
series. The coins circulated heavily in the hard-money economy of
the American West at a time when gold coins were seldom seen in
circulation in other parts of the country. As might be expected,
the 1873-S is an elusive issue in all grades today. The 1873-S is a
condition rarity at the AU58 grade level, and Mint State specimens
are virtually unobtainable. This impressive near-Mint specimen
exhibits just a trace of friction on the well-detailed design
elements and the lustrous orange-gold surfaces show the expected
number of minor abrasions for the grade. Overall eye appeal is
quite strong. Census: 8 in 58, 1 finer (12/24).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2656, PCGS# 8668, Greysheet# 9478)
