Description
1905 Eagle, Exceptional MS67
Among the Finest Graded
1905 $10 MS67 PCGS. The 200,992 Liberty eagles manufactured
at the Philadelphia Mint in 1905 were produced primarily for
reserve purposes. The Annual Mint Director's Report of that
year explains that the law demanded at least $100 million in gold
coin be held in Treasury vaults at all times, lest the institution
suspend the issuance of gold certificates. According to the report,
this had "the effect of causing an unnecessary amount coinage ... .
When any important demand upon the Treasury for gold is made it is
always for export, and bullion is wanted." Probably most 1905 ten
dollar gold pieces were exported, and the rest were jostled around
in bags at the Treasury. Consequently, most examples are seen in
MS61 to MS63 condition with numerous abrasions.This Superb Gem is exceptionally clean, ranking among the finest submissions at both services combined. Fully struck devices and rolling cartwheel frost appear over smooth, peach-gold surfaces. A couple of small reddish alloy spots at the lower obverse are distinctive. Population: 5 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (9/25).
