There are two later date $10 Liberties that are very rare and underrated in Mint State condition, the 1894-S and 1895-S. The 1894-S is slightly rarer than the 1895-S, but both are very difficult to find. PCGS has never graded an 1894-S $10 Liberty above MS62 and there may be less than a dozen Mint State survivors. This coin almost never appears at auction.
