Liberty Eagles
1889 $10 MS61 NGC. The mintage of gold eagles took a precipitous drop at the Philadelphia Mint in 1889, with just 4,440 pieces struck. As one might expect, it quickly was recognized as an unexpected rarity in the series by eagle specialists and it remains so to this day. This bright, yellow-gold example has its share of pinprick abrasions but no heavy marks. Much prooflike reflectivity survives the bagmarks and the strike is comprehensively sharp.
