Description

Prooflike 1889 Eagle, Mint State
Low-Mintage Issue

1889 $10 MS60 Prooflike ANACS. The 1889 eagle is one in a series of low-mintage Liberty Head emissions of the 1870s and 1880s, in this case 4,440 business strikes plus 45 proofs. This is an attractive orange-gold piece with much prooflike luster on the surfaces that creates considerable appeal, despite the numerous small abrasions that pepper both sides. A single scratch on Liberty's cheek is the only abrasion that requires singular mention. A tiny copper alloy spot appears at the rim near star 10.
