<B>1914 $10 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> A well struck Premium Gem with booming luster and lovely apricot and yellow-gold surfaces that show only the most trivial of flaws, even with intense scrutiny. The exquisite fields show a touch of satin. Philadelphia Mint eagle production annually exceeded 400,000 pieces between 1911 and 1913, but in 1914, the mintage was limited to 151,000 business strikes and 50 proofs. Presumably, the reason for the reduced mintage was the outbreak of the Great War in Europe. Shipping bullion was dangerous during wartime due to enemy submarines. While Philadelphia's production of eagles rebounded in 1915, that facility would strike no more examples of the denomination until 1926. Population: 7 in 66, 2 finer (2/08).<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>)
