1865 Ten Dollar, Richly Patinated AU50
Rare in All Grades

1865 $10 AU50 NGC. As gold coins generally did not circulate (except in the Western regions) during the Civil War period, the Philadelphia Mint produced only limited quantities of ten dollar gold pieces each year. The production total in 1865, therefore, was a typical mintage figure for the period, even if only 3,980 coins. A couple Mint State survivors have been certified by the leading services, though this issue is nonetheless rare in all grades, especially above the XF grade level. This example is undeniably original, exhibiting rich orange-gold patina that deepens to bold reddish-orange around the margins. Light, even wear is noted over the high points, and the abrasions present are small and in concert with the grade. Census: 7 in 50, 18 finer (6/15).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264F, PCGS# 8641, Greysheet# 9386)
