1860-S Ten Dollar, XF45
Rare and Underappreciated
Only 5,000 Pieces Struck

1860-S $10 XF45 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. On the present coin, the pumpkin-gold surfaces display noticeable luster. The left obverse field exhibits moderate marks, and a nick on the reverse rim at 2 o'clock provides an identifier. Census: 8 in 45, 12 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N2998)
