A scarce low-mintage issue with production of just 4,440 pieces, the 1889 ten-dollar gold piece is seldom encountered in any grade. This example displays the proof-like reflectivity so often associated with the issue, with bright yellow-gold surfaces and deeply mirrored fields framing sharply impressed design elements. Light handling marks are consistent with the assigned grade, while the overall eye appeal remains strong for this elusive Liberty Head Eagle.
