Indian Eagles
1908-S $10 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth assert in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, 1795-1933 that: "This date is available in Gem and even Superb Gem grades in spite of the very low mintage (59,850 pieces). Most examples were very sharply struck and quite lustrous, some with a fine granular appearance, and others frostier. One of the requirements for a Gem grade from the grading services is eye appeal, and this date was blessed with splendid eye appeal."
This MS65 example exudes dazzling luster and a medley of peach-gold, yellow-gold, and mint-green patina. The surfaces are somewhat fine-grained, and exhibit well-struck design features. A few light reverse marks in no way detract from this coin's fantastic eye appeal.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2007), lot 3678; Chicago Signature (Heritage, 8/2011), lot 7624, where it brought $20,700. From The Mercury Rising Collection.
