Description
Difficult XF 1874-S Ten
1874-S $10 XF40 NGC. The double eagle was more convenient than the eagle for bankers and exporters, since half as many pieces were needed to fulfill a given value. Thus, more than 1.2 million twenties were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1874, while ten dollar production was limited to just 10,000 pieces. Those went into circulation and stayed there, since none have been certified as Mint State by either NGC or PCGS. This yellow-gold example shows moderate wear, although Liberty's hair retains some definition. No marks are relevant for the grade. Census: 12 in 40, 49 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2659, PCGS# 8671, GSID# 9480)
