Pleasing AU 1874-S Eagle

1874-S $10 AU50 PCGS. Deep orange-gold surfaces turn reddish-gold with hints of purple in the obverse fields. The strike is surprisingly sharp for an S-mint eagle of the time, and the overall eye appeal is remarkable. Only light wear, combined with wispy abrasions on and near the portrait, preclude a finer designation. The 1874-S was heavily circulated on issuance, and even AU examples are conditionally rare. Population: 8 in 50, 6 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N4719)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
