<B>1920-S $10 AU55 PCGS.</B></I> The 1920-S ranks as one of the rarest Indian Head tens. In <I>The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens</B></I>, Jim Halperin et al. indicate that "fewer than 100 pieces are known today of the 1920-S, in spite of a generous production run of 126,500 pieces. Obviously, the majority of the mintage was melted. However, some attempt seems to have been made to circulate the 1920-S as there are currently 50 coins that have been certified by both of the major services in XF-AU grades."<BR> This choice AU specimen displays ample luster residing on peach-gold surfaces laced with wisps of mint-green. Sharp definition is apparent on the design elements, and the few circulation marks scattered about do not detract.<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>)
