Description

Difficult 1877-S Ten Dollar, AU55

1877-S $10 AU55 NGC. According to Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006): "Like most of the S-Mint eagles from the 1870s, virtually all of the 1877-S coins entered circulation and few collectors cared enough about them to save them in high-grade condition." That said, a mere two specimens have been certified in Mint State (12/09). This extremely scarce Choice AU example is well struck with mere traces of highpoint wear on its bright yellow-gold surfaces. Small to moderate marks on each side should not dissuade collectors desiring to acquire this most difficult date.(Registry values: N2998)
