1899 Eagle, Lustrous MS65+
Fully Struck Example

1899 $10 MS65+ PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint made a series of incredibly well-struck gold coins in the waning years of the 19th century and the first of the 20th. This 1899 eagle is one such, showing a full strike on honey-gold, highly lustrous surfaces with no mentionable marks. A couple of darker toning spots are possibly due to improper alloy mixing, but in any case they are not bothersome. Population: 40 in 65 (5 in 65+), 5 finer (10/14).(Registry values: N2998)
