Not Sold 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 just 5,000 pieces. PCGS states "30 to 45 known,"
which makes the issue rarer than the 1870-CC ten, yet far more
affordable. Still, it is not the rarest S-mint No Motto ten, as
that distinction goes to the 1864-S. Also, the Normal Date 1865-S
is comparable in rarity with 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 (2/25).Ex: I. Kleinman (1/2011).(Registry values: N7079)
