Lot 1182
1859-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-55. A top-notch example of this scarce date, born of a mintage of a mere 7,000 pieces, with many of its siblings lost or destroyed over the years. This one features plenty of original luster, certainly enough to support the grade, and the surfaces show the normal, light abrasions and marks acquired from a short stint in circulation. Minor rim dings appear at 2:00 on the obverse and at 2:00 on the reverse. Finding a nicer example is futile -- this is the finest grade assigned to any 1859-S Eagle, whether at NGC or PCGS. NGC reports only 4 coins at this grade level. A wonderful opportunity for the serious collector.
Estimated Value $12,500 - 15,000.
