1855 LIBERTY HEAD $10 MS62

CHOICE SATIN LUSTROUS SURFACES. JUST SIX COINS GRADED HIGHER AT PCGS. Given enough time and adequate financial resources, the collector should have no difficulty locating an 1855 Eagle that grades VF, EF or AU. Mint State examples are another matter entirely. We believe that almost the entire mintage of 121,701 pieces for this issue was placed into circulation at the time of delivery. Most coins remained there until they became noticeably worn, and many were probably melted in later years. A Mint State example is a rare find, and it is a coin that cheated its fate purely as a matter of chance.
