Lot Description

A delightful honey-gold example with subtle pale rose highlights evident as the coin rotates under a light. Smartly impressed and fully lustrous, the surfaces are also exceptionally well preserved for an example of this scarce and conditionally challenged issue. This is one of the top 10 rarest Indian eagles in terms of total number of Mint State coins known. Most Uncirculated 1909-S tens extant entered the numismatic market beginning in the 1970s, although the number of examples in any given find has never been substantial. Also a conditionally challenging issue, the 1909-S is seldom offered any finer than MS-62. This premium near-Gem with CAC approval represents a significant find for the advanced 20th century gold specialist.
