Liberty Eagles
1858-S $10 AU53 PCGS. The young San Francisco Mint's sole purpose in its early years was to meet the needs of the Western economy by supplying a steady amount of gold and silver coinage. That is exactly what it did in 1858, when 11,800 ten dollar gold pieces were struck. No coins aside for numismatic purposes then, and the 1858-S eagles is unknown in Mint State. This About Uncirculated sun-gold and lavender example is minimally circulated with light marks. A tiny dig occurs below OF. Moderate friction does nothing to diminish its importance. Population: 2 in 53, 3 finer (1/17).
