Description
Magnificent 1899 Eagle, MS66
Tied for Finest Graded at PCGS
1899 $10 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1899 eagle is a high-mintage
issue, produced to the extent of more than 1.26 million pieces.
Garrett and Guth, in their gold Encyclopedia, write that the
1899 is a "super-common date that can be found quite easily in all
Mint State grades up through MS-64. Gem examples are 'money coins,'
(i.e., with enough money, one can always find an example of this
date." Despite the foregoing, the MS66 grade of the present piece
makes it a conditionally very rare coin, one of only five so graded
at PCGS, with none finer (8/10). This orange-gold Premium Gem is
fully struck throughout, a coin drenched in mint luster and
radiating sensational eye appeal. The quality appears close to the
Superb Gem level, save for a couple of insignificant ticks. A
magnificent type coin.(Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 267J, PCGS# 8742, Greysheet# 9420)
