Description

Fully Struck Near-Gem 1889-S Eagle
Deep Orange-Gold Coloration

1889-S $10 MS64 PCGS. The 1889-S eagle was the smallest branch mint gold coin made in the year, and it appears that San Francisco went out of its way to produce nice ones. This splendid near-Gem boasts radiant cartwheel luster that would be not at all out of place on a Morgan dollar. Deep orange-gold coloration complementing hazel accents at the rims further increases the appeal. The strike is full, and only a single straight scrape across Liberty's cheek requires singular notice. Population: 18 in 64, 1 finer (8/11).(Registry values: N2998)

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

Weight: 16.72 grams
