Lot 4727
1856-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-53. Mostly untoned. 68,000 struck. Third year of issue from this historic Western mint. While the economic situation on the East Coast was getting tense (there would come a Panic and worldwide depression in 1857), out on the West Coast, life went pretty much on as if the residents were in a different country entirely. Eagles weren't as popular with gold bullion depositors as were the double eagles, which explains the wide discrepancy in mintage between the two. This piece is definitely scarce in all grades. Pop 37; 88 finer; 44 in 55; 43 in 58; 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8621) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
