<B>1908-S $10 MS65 NGC.</B></I> Even more than its small mintage of 59,850 pieces, the excellent overall quality of the 1908-S ten dollar gold issue is its most notable feature. Garrett and Guth (2006) note that "this date was blessed with splendid eye appeal," and those who view the present piece are unlikely to disagree. It displays shining and slightly satiny apricot-gold and wheat-gold surfaces with a touch of peach, and the devices deliver bold impressions throughout. The obverse is beautifully preserved, and the reverse is similarly attractive, though a few small ticks are noted on the eagle's wing. Still, a delightful and highly desirable Gem that would be right at home in a similarly graded date set. Census: 11 in 65, 11 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Augustus Saint-Gaudens<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
