<B>1909-S $10 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> Prior to the discovery in the late 1970s of a hoard of about 60 1909-S ten dollar pieces, this issue was nearly impossible to obtain in Uncirculated condition. Subsequently, a few other small hoards were found. Despite these discoveries, the '09-S is still very scarce in the better grades of Mint State, as most extant pieces are in the MS62 to MS64 range. <BR> Blazing luster radiates from both sides of this Gem, and a wonderful blend of apricot-gold and mint-green rests on each, with some copper-spots on the reverse. Rounding out the coin's grandeur is a well executed strike that imparts virtually complete definition to the motifs. This eye-catching specimen would have certainly graded Premium Gem, or maybe even Superb Gem, were it not for a couple of marks on the cheekbone.
