1894-S $10 MS62 NGC. At the time the Garrett-Guth Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins was published (2006), there were two PCGS-graded MS62 pieces of this issue, and none at NGC. The latter service has since certified this piece as the single finest and only MS62 (1/08). The gold authors call the issue "rare in any Mint State grade" and add that "auction records are relatively meaningless, as neither of the [PCGS] MS-62 coins have appeared on the market." This, then, appears to be the sole MS62 survivor currently available. The orange-gold surfaces offer beaming luster, with numerous tiny, undistracting and grade-consistent ticks that constitute the grade. The strike is bold, and the eye appeal is quite high on this elusive and underrated issue.
