1863 Ten Dollar, VF35
Among the Rarest P-Mint Issues
Only 30 to 40 Coins Extant

1863 $10 VF35 PCGS. The Annual Mint Director's Report of 1863 explained: "The coinage for this period has been much less than during the preceding year, although for that year it was much below former years. The same causes that contributed to reduce the coinage of 1862 are still in operation; and we cannot hope for any material increase until the rebellion is crushed, peace restored, and consequent and increasing prosperity gladdens our country." Only 1,218 ten dollar gold coins were struck in circulation-strike format at the Philadelphia Mint in 1863. There are perhaps 30 or 40 coins extant, making this one of the rarest P-mint issues in the entire Liberty Head ten dollar series.

Each side offers attractive reddish-gold color and relatively strong definition for the VF assessment. Some star radial lines are apparent, and the curls and feathers still show good detail. Myriad abrasions throughout. Certified in an old green label holder. Population: 4 in 35, 18 finer (1/18).
