1908-S Indian Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS).A nicely produced example, as befits the issue, both sides are sharply struck with full mint luster in a softly frosted texture. Handsome rose-orange patina is also noted, and it further enhances this coins already significant appeal. The premier San Francisco Mint Indian eagle, the 1908-S is a low mintage affair with just 59,850 pieces produced. A surprising number of high grade Mint State examples are known, suggesting that some coins were set aside by contemporary Americans as the first examples of the new type struck in the West Coast coinage facility. The total Mint State population is limited by Indian eagle standards, nonetheless, and examples are avidly sought by numismatists irrespective of numeric grade. This is a highlight of the Fairmont Collection Indian tens, and it is lovely coin that comes highly recommended for inclusion in another advanced cabinet.From the Fairmont Collection.
