<B>1910-D $10 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Even though huge numbers of the 2,356,640-piece 1910-D eagle mintage were melted during the 1930s, sufficient numbers survived overseas to meet present-day collector demand. If the PCGS/NGC population figures are any indication, a fairly large number exist through MS64. The numbers drop off significantly in MS65, and Premium Gem pieces become challenging. Higher-grade coins are elusive.<BR> Beautiful apricot-gold and mint-green coloration rests on highly lustrous surfaces that display a pleasing fine-grained finish. Strong definition is the rule on the design elements, including those along the peripheries, areas that are often weak on the issue. Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2006) suggest that this weakness may have been caused by the collar, which held the coin in place during striking, or by die wear. There is a faint inner border on both sides, possibly associated with this situation, but as mentioned, the peripheral devices are sharp. There are no mentionable marks to report. Population: 25 in 66, 0 finer (7/07).<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>\)
