Exceedingly Rare 1864 Ten-Dollar, MS 61

1864 MS 61 NGC. This is an exciting coin that should be of interest to any number of prospective bidders and for several very good reasons. First, this is a rare and highly respected date with an original mintage of only 3,530 pieces. Very few examples survive in any grade. Second, the typical grade for an 1864 ten is only VF, with XF pieces being condition rarities. And third, this is the finest known specimen of this rare date. There are two coins certified in MS 60 by PCGS. There are no prominent identifying marks, only myriad small ones scattered about in the fields on each side. The fields also show evidence of the coin having been struck from striated dies, and the strike is full in all areas. There is also just a hint of oil slick iridescent patina in the fields that adds even more to the beauty of this rare and desirable coin. A very rare and important coin for the specialist.
