Description
1860-S Ten Dollar, AU53
Rare and Underappreciated
Only 5,000 Pieces Struck
1860-S $10 AU53 NGC. Although the San Francisco Mint struck
more than a half million double eagles in 1860, the ten dollar
production was only 5,000 pieces. PCGS CoinFacts reports "30 to 45
known," which makes the 1860 issue rarer than the 1870-CC ten, yet
far more affordable. Still, it is not the rarest S-mint No Motto
ten -- that distinction goes to the 1864-S. Overall, the Normal
Date 1865-S is comparable in rarity to the 1860-S. The average
1860-S grades VF, although a few XF and AU coins survive. Mint
State examples are great rarities. This example displays
pumpkin-gold surfaces with plentiful mint luster at the margins.
Abrasions are far fewer than expected, with a tiny reeding mark
below star 8 that does not distract from the overall high-quality
fields. Liberty's portrait is smooth and sharply defined despite a
touch of wear. Census: 3 in 53, 8 finer (5/25).Ex: I. Kleinman (1/2011).(Registry values: N7079)
