Lot Description

Ten-dollar gold eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint dipped to 16,606 circulation strikes in 1857, the lowest total from this facility recorded since 1844. This issue has a higher rate of survival than many Liberty Head eagles from the 1840s, however, and the persistent collector should be able to find a suitable VF or EF. Anything finer is scarce, if not rare, confirming the significance of this attractive AU offering.
