1869-S $10 MS (PCGS#8656)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1869-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). This lovely piece is lustrous for the grade with modest semi-reflectivity in the fields. Vividly colored with pinkish-rose highlights on dominant honey-orange, this is an undeniably original coin. Sharply struck at most design elements, an impressively smooth appearance adds to the appeal of this rarity. The 1869-S continues the trend for Liberty Head eagle coinage from the San Francisco Mint that began with the facility's opening in 1854 - a small number of coins were produced (6,430 pieces) with most succumbing to the rigors of commercial use. PCGS CoinFactsaccounts for just 60 to 75 survivors, the vast majority of which are in well worn grades such as VF and EF, often with impairments. We cannot recall handling more than one or two finer specimens than this current Fairmont Collection specimen, and it is sure to sell for a very strong premium to a discerning numismatist. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. PCGS Population: 11; 23 finer, 3 of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest). To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here.
