1861 Ten Dollar, MS62
THE Type Coin in the No Motto Series

1861 $10 MS62 PCGS. More examples of this issue were produced than for all of the other Civil War-era eagles combined, so it is no surprise that the 1861 is by far the most available date from this era. There are a few dozen examples known in Uncirculated, and beginning at the MS62 grade level, the 1861 becomes scarce. The finest known, by a wide margin, is the amazing PCGS MS66 from the Bass Collection that brought $50,600 when it was last sold in November, 2000. Only four PCGS MS62 1861 eagles have sold at auction since June 2006 with the last one in the 2015 ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2015), lot 6241, where it realized $8,225.

This would make an excellent type coin for the collector seeking an impressive No Motto eagle. The coin is bright yellow-gold and problem-free for the grade. It is also important to remember that if available, a nice PCGS MS63 example of this date would sell for a price approaching $20,000.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2009), lot 5546, where it realized $7,187.50.
