1862-S $10 MS (PCGS#8636)

March 2021 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Incredible Near-Mint 1862-S Liberty $10 Condition Census 1862-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-58+ (PCGS). An incredibly lustrous survivor from a rare issue that is typically offered well worn, if not also impaired. Remarkably bold in detail with subtle rose-gold coloration blooming from the protected areas. The surfaces are very smooth beneath a glass and lack any individual distractions, leaving just a hint of friction on the high points to preclude a full Mint State designation. A low mintage issue that suffered heavily in circulation, the 1862-S eagle has an extant population of fewer than 75 coins from a mintage of 12,500 pieces. Struck amid the chaos of the Civil War, virtually no examples were set aside by collectors at the time. The vast majority of these are in grades of EF-45 and lower, and only a single Mint State survivor is known, the MS-61 (PCGS) Hall-Simpson coin. At AU-58+, this piece is tied at CC#2 for the issue and represents the finest in quality realistically obtainable for most of today's advanced gold enthusiasts. It is an irresistible prize for advanced Liberty Head specialists and Registry Set participants. PCGS Population: 3; 1 finer in MS-61. PCGS# 8636. NGC ID: 264A.
