VERY SCARCE 1861-S $10: A COLLECTOR QUALITY CAC APPROVED VF20
Fewer than 100 1861-S eagles exist from a mintage of 15,500, and a surprising number are very well-worn; an indication of the shortage circulating higher denomination gold coins in the booming Western US economy of the 1860s and 1870s.
This is a problem-free and evenly worn collector grade 1861-S eagle with some deeper color at the borders offering contrast to the medium green-gold centers.
In their 2023 ANA sale, Stack’s Bowers sold a PCGS/CAC F15 example of this date for $6,000.
CAC has approved just this one coin in this grade with 21 finer.
