1846 Ten Dollar, MS61
Rare in Mint State

1846 $10 MS61 NGC. No Motto Liberty eagles are scarce in Mint State as a type. The earliest date in this series that is usually accessible with some ease in Uncirculated condition is the 1847 Philadelphia issue. The 1846, represented here, is rare in any Mint State grade, with a total of only nine such pieces reported by NGC and PCGS combined (3/22). We have previously handled an Uncirculated 1846 Liberty eagle on only seven occasions, just one of which was in the last decade.

This MS61 example displays bright butter-gold surfaces with areas of prooflike reflectivity in the fields. Scattered abrasions define the grade, but the strike is sharp, and eye appeal is pleasing for the MS61 level. Only two pieces are finer at NGC and PCGS combined. Census: 3 in 61, 1 finer (3/22).(Registry values: N1)
