Lot 1530
1877-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. In NGC holder 9173901-008. Rich coppery-golden color. All three mints then in operation struck Eagles in 1877, but only in low numbers. The distinctive San Francisco pieces are all very well executed and, when lustrous, have nice frosty surface as those seen here. Most of the original mintage was not saved, and only a relative few examples are certified in Mint State by either NGC or PCGS. Straw-gold blending into nice rich warm orange-gold color, where glimpses of luster persist within and around all devices extending well into the field on both sides. A couple of minor scuffs at the date with a disturbance in the luster below the first A in AMERICA on the reverse. Only 17,000 struck. Pop 13; 2 finer with 1 in 60, 1 in 61. (PCGS # 8679) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
