1909-S $10 Indian. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. Lovely rich orange and gold colors. In the 1970s, a hoard of 60 pieces of the 1909-S Eagle was sold intact to New England Rare Coin Galleries. Before then, the 1909-S was virtually impossible to obtain in Uncirculated condition. Yet after the discovery, the 1909-S is still very scarce in Mint State, with most falling into the Mint State 62 to Mint State 64 grades. The surfaces of the Gem MS65 presented here are full and satiny with rolling luster the color of warm peach-gold variegated with a little rose and yellow-gold color! The design elements are for the most part very well struck as befits a coin in this high grade, though some of the hair above the Indian's forehead is a smidgen soft. One for the record books, one for the connoisseur to seriously consider owning. A great coin. Pop 15; 4 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 8864) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
