Only
96,000 minted of which merely 237 examples are estimated to
have survived according to CoinFacts. Full mint bloom and should
be regraded as the surfaces are simply amazing in quality, with
incredble mint freshness and bloom. It would be difficult to imag-
ine a more attractive example of this scarce issue. So many 1926
Indian eagles were struck in that there were enough $10 eagles on
hand to supply the needs of banks until 1930. By then the roaring
economy was starting to turn down, and demand for new coins
was tepid. Hence the mintage of the 1930-S issue was limited.
Given so few of these were initially produced it is remarkable how
many choice and finer examples exist. Those that die enter circula-
tion in the early 1930s were quite limited, the majority that do
survive are in mint condition, with only a few pieces showing even
light circulation wear. Gems are reasonably available for a price,
such as this example, but can be had with patience. A few finer
examples exist than this offering, but precious few. If you have
been looking for a really special coin, one that has been off the
market for decades, then your search is over!
