1864 Ten Dollar, AU50
Major Philadelphia Rarity
About 40 Coins Extant

1864 $10 AU50 PCGS. The 1864 eagle is a big-time rarity, although it tends to be overshadowed by its cousin, the 1864-S. Just 3,530 of these coins were struck. Probably few reached circulation at the time of striking. Instead, it is likely that a majority of the mintage was used in overseas payments and melted. A few coins found their way into the channels of commerce, leaving a surviving population of just 33 to 44 coins, including about eight to 12 in Mint State. High-grade, problem-free examples of the 1864 ten dollar have been missing from some of the finest sets ever put together. We trust collectors will recognize the important opportunity provided here. Pleasing orange-gold surfaces exhibit good detail on the stars, portrait, and eagle with light high-point blending. Two ticks above the 4 and a set of reeding marks above star 13 serve as pedigree identifiers. Population: 5 in 50, 13 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N4719)
