1870-S $10 MS (PCGS#8659)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: One of the Finest Known 1870-S Eagles 1870-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Captivating rose-honey surfaces are undeniably original and thoroughly PQ for both the issue and the assigned grade. They are near-fully lustrous with a lovely, frosty texture that display only a few trivial marks. Boldly to sharply struck overall with plenty of eye appeal. The 1870-S is one of many unsung rarities in the Liberty Head eagle series, with just 8,000 pieces produced. As with all San Francisco Mint eagles of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, the 1870-S circulated extensively and suffered a correspondingly high rate of attrition. Of the 80 to 100 survivors accounted for at PCGS CoinFacts, most grade no finer than VF. The Eliasberg-Bass specimen is unique in Mint State (PCGS MS-61); it has not been approved by CAC as if this writing. The Fairmont specimen offered here is one of the two highest graded examples stickered by CAC. It is a high Condition Census example that represents a significant find for the advanced gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 9; 3 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-61). CAC Population: 2; 0. PCGS# 8659. NGC ID: 264V. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
