Description

1863-S Ten Dollar, AU58
Rarely Offered So Fine
Only 50 to 75 Pieces Extant

1863-S $10 AU58 NGC. While ten dollar production nearly came to a halt at the Philadelphia Mint in 1863, output stayed fairly consistent on the West coast, where such gold coins remained in circulation. The 1863-S claims a mintage of 10,000 pieces, but like contemporary S-mint issues, only 50 to 75 examples are believed to have survived -- the majority no higher than AU53. Uncirculated coins can be counted on one hand (three fingers to be exact). We recently sold an MS60 as part of the Admiral Collection in our February Long Beach Signature sale, lot 4262, which realized a record $132,000. Comparable near-Mint coins are just as rare and tightly held. This is a terrific opportunity for the specialist to acquire a high-grade representative.

A series of raised die lines occur near the lower curls, and a die lump appears in the space between the second and third shield stripes. The devices exhibit minimal friction and good detail, save for a few of the star radials and the veins on the leaves. Medium yellow-gold surfaces showcase luster within the hidden regions of the design. Lightly clashed and abraded. Census: 3 in 58, 1 finer (6/22).
