1881 Eagle, Elusive MS64+
One Gem Finer at PCGS

1881 $10 MS64+ PCGS. Much prooflike reflectivity sparkles throughout both sides, an enormous plus on this high-grade Liberty eagle. This mass-produced Philadelphia issue is widely available through the Select grade level, but it becomes deceivingly rare in MS64. Plus-designated near-Gems are extremely rare but often the only option for those looking to assemble the finest set possible, as there are merely three submissions finer, one at PCGS and two at NGC. Understandably, Gems are tightly held, and our records show a single auction appearance 20 years ago. This Condition Census coin displays light rose-gold surfaces with coruscating mint frost. A bold strike and minimal field chatter add to the top-notch appeal. Population: 4 in 64+, 1 finer (3/16).(Registry values: N1793)
