1887-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Lovely golden toning on both sides; a lustrous example of a date that is surprisingly difficult to find this choice. There is a small contact mark in the field above the eagle's head; a few in the fields and on Liberty's profile but all of these minor. Other S-mint Eagles struck in the 1880s are around, some very common in mint condition due to hoards, but the 1887-S, as the following population figures reveal, is definitely rare. Pop 2; 1 finer in 64. (PCGS # 8711) .
Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500.
