1916-S 10C MS66 PCGS. CAC. Despite a mintage of nearly 6 million coins, this final-year San Francisco issue is scarce at the Gem grade level and is rarely seen finer. This Premium Gem example is boldly struck with frosty, untoned mint luster. Some faint surface grazes on Liberty's cheek preclude an even finer grade, though the coin appears pristine to the unaided eye. Population: 21 in 66 (5 in 66+), 2 finer. CAC: 8 in 66, 1 finer (6/17).
Ex: Beverly Hills Signature (Heritage, 11/2014), lot 3368; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 1-2/2015), lot 3705.
