Description

Rare Choice 1889-S Ten Dollar

1889-S $10 MS64 NGC. CAC. The mintage of the 1889-S eagle--more than 425,000 coins--suggests that it is plentiful, and indeed it is readily secured in MS61 or MS62. MS63 examples are scarce, however, and the issue is a rarity at the MS64 level. Like so many original gold coins, the present piece is predominantly pumpkin-gold with lime-green peripheries. It is lustrous and intricately struck with only one mark of consequence, on the field beneath the left (facing) wing. Census: 7 in 64, 0 finer (1/10).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 266P, PCGS# 8716, Greysheet# 9510)

Weight: 16.72 grams
