1853 Liberty Head Eagle, MS64
Top-Grade Example

1853 $10 MS64 NGC. A substantial production of 201,253 eagles was accomplished at the Philadelphia mint in 1853. The issue is one of the more available No Motto eagles in circulated grades, and lower Mint State examples are not too difficult to locate. The situation changes dramatically at the Choice Uncirculated level, where only five specimens have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined (8/24). The present coin would certainly be a candidate for any Condition Census compiled for the issue, as no examples are known in higher numeric grades.

This lovely Choice type coin is well-struck, with just a touch of softness on some star centers and vibrant mint luster. The surfaces are enhanced by an even reddish-gold patina, with a subtle mixture of lilac on each side. Overall visual appeal is outstanding. Census: 1 in 64, 0 finer (8/24).(Registry values: N7079)
