Description

1859 Ten Dollar, MS61
Conditionally Rare Philadelphia Issue

1859 $10 MS61 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. From a mintage of 16,013 coins, the 1859 Liberty eagle is challenging to acquire with good eye appeal. Most certified examples grade in the XF and AU range. Uncirculated pieces are rare. In total, NGC and PCGS report 17 Mint State submissions, which likely includes duplication. Only two coins are reported finer than MS62. We have handled a few Mint State coins over the years, most notably the MS63 NGC piece in our February 2018 Long Beach Signature, which realized $66,000. We have not handled an MS61 coin since 2003, despite that grade encompassing nearly half of the reported population.

This piece is sharply struck and satiny. The fields are slightly reflective, showing rich lemon-gold patina. Scattered light marks define the grade, but none are individually bothersome. Census: 2 in 61, 4 finer (3/21).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 263Z, PCGS# 8628, Greysheet# 9380)
