Description
1878-S $10 AU50 NGC. Very rare in any condition and seldom available any better than XF, today the '78-S is one of the most respected condition rarities in the series of With Motto tens. Over the past ten years this date has really come into its own. This was due in large part to Akers glowing account of its rarity in all grades, where he wrote in part: "...I can think of no U.S. gold coin of comparable rarity that has been more ignored and lightly regarded than the 1878-S eagle." Light, even wear throughout with a slight reddish cast to the obverse.
