Description

1886-S Eagle, MS64
A Challenging Acquisition in High Grade

1886-S $10 MS64 PCGS. The 1886-S is significantly more available than its Philadelphia counterpart, but it is not a common date in MS64. Gems are rare and the small number that exist trace their origin to the Saddle Ridge Hoard. The finest 1886-S eagles to appear on the market are from a small group of PCGS MS64+ pieces. This example softly and beautifully lustrous, yielding peach-gold and greenish hues on the obverse with deeper lilac and orange-gold reverse coloration. The strike is sharp. Population: 48 in 64 (8 in 64+), 4 finer (1/20).
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2007), lot 3199, where it realized $5,463.
From The Harvey B. Jacobson, Jr. Collection of Liberty Eagles. (Registry values: N2998)
