Attractive AU55 1863-S Ten Dollar
A Low-Mintage Civil War Issue
1863-S $10 AU55 NGC. The 1863-S is even rarer than suggested
by its production of 10,000 pieces. It is also a condition rarity,
most likely because of the general unawareness of mintmarked coins
and their relative scarcity until the 1893 publication by Augustus
Heaton of his groundbreaking work Treatise on Coinage of the
United States Branch Mints. By then, most of the remaining
1863-S tens were well-worn. Today, VF-XF coins are usually all that
are encountered with AU pieces such as this among the finest
examples available. NGC has certified only 34 pieces in all grades,
including three recovered in recent years from the S.S.
Republic. NGC has yet to certify any pieces as Mint State. The
present example is lustrous for the grade, and is sharply struck
save for moderate bluntness on the eagle's neck. Census: 2 in 55, 3
finer (6/07).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264C, PCGS# 8638, GSID# 9462)
