The 1906-S Eagle has a significant mintage of 457,000 pieces. Most of that issue went directly into circulation to serve the Western economy. Today the 1906-S Liberty head Eagle is considered rare in grades above MS63. That makes the current offering from AUCM a desirable example in its grade of MS61 (CAC). PCGS has graded 83 as MS61 with 157 finer. In CAC there are 3 in MS61 with 12 finer. CAC gives this issue a price of $1,880.00 in MS61.
This specimen is rich with history. Collectors of San Francisco numismatic issues love the city's connection with the Gold Rush and Old West. However, this piece also has a tragic historic connection: it was struck in 1906, the year of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire. The Mint, affectionately called the 'Granite Lady,' stood as one of only two buildings in its neighborhood that was not damaged by either the earthquake or the subsequent fire. Plus this issue represents the penultimate year of the popular Liberty head double eagle series.
The San Francisco Mint, aka the 'Granite Lady,' stands proud and undamaged after the 1906 Earthquake.
This stunning 1906-S $10 Liberty Head Eagle is a coveted collectible item, graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as Mint State 61. It has also earned the independent CAC certification indicating its superior level of eye appeal. This coin features Lady Liberty on the obverse, with a bald eagle and US shield design on the reverse, surrounded by thirteen stars. This is an excellent choice for the serious collector looking for a fine milestone piece in their collection.
