Description
1863-S Liberty Eagle, XF45
Elusive, Low-Mintage Issue
1863-S $10 XF45 NGC. Double eagle production in San
Francisco was much greater during the Civil War than for any of the
smaller gold denominations. This point is well illustrated by the
contrast between eagle and double production in 1863. A mere 10,000
eagles were struck at the California mint, versus nearly a million
twenty dollar pieces. This is a conditionally scarce example from
that small mintage figure, as the heavily circulated ten dollar
coins did not survive in large numbers at the XF grade level or
finer.A well-balanced appearance includes lovely orange-gold coloration, with deeper maroon accents that surround the peripheral devices on the obverse. Shallow marks pepper each side, as expected, while even high-point wear is also typical for the Choice XF level of preservation. A lovely high-end coin that should satisfy the needs of any serious date or San Francisco type collector. Census: 6 in 45, 14 finer (9/14).(Registry values: N2998)
