<B>1878-S<$10> MS64 PCGS.</B></I> The 1878-S Ten Dollar was struck just a year before an explosive increase in S-mint production of Eagles. Just 26,100 pieces were minted, and it is scarce in any condition, being seldom available better than a low-end AU. This remarkably preserved and produced example is assuredly one of the finest pieces known, being at the very least tied for that honor (there is a distinct possibility that the NGC census represents a resubmission of this exact coin) with a similarly graded 1878-S at NGC, and will undoubtedly be of great interest to many collectors of this series.<BR> The surfaces are a rich golden color with prooflike fields and uncommonly bold design elements. As for identifying marks, the most obvious one is a small dig in the upper reverse field between the S and O in STATES OF. There is also a shallow scratch in the field below TRUST. On the obverse there is a reeding mark that runs roughly parallel to the front of the coronet.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
