Liberty Eagles
1899-S $10 MS65 PCGS. The number of Gem or finer 1899-S gold eagles that we have previously handled can be counted on two hands with fingers left over. This is only the fourth MS65 coin that we have offered and the first PCGS-graded example to appear in our auctions in more than a decade. Radiant yellow-gold luster cartwheels around the satiny surfaces, illuminating sharp design elements. A single graze under Liberty's eye is the only mentionable abrasion. The 1899-S is only plentiful through MS62. Select examples are scarce, and in MS65 this issue is a magnificent condition rarity. Population: 2 in 65, 3 finer (4/17).
