Description
1865 Eagle, AU53
Rare Low-Mintage Issue
1865 $10 AU53 NGC. In the Civil War year of 1865, gold coins
did not circulate except in the far West, and unbacked paper money
replaced Liberty eagles elsewhere in the country. The 1865 ten
dollar business mintage was just 3,980 pieces, less than 4% of the
1861 production. PCGS estimates only 50 to 75 survivors,
predominantly in XF to AU grades. The present coin displays ample
glimpses of orange-red luster, along with the expected number of
small to moderate marks. 1865 was the final year of the No Motto
series at Philadelphia, though the San Francisco Mint would strike
No Motto tens into 1866. Census: 8 in 53, 15 finer (8/25).(Registry values: N4719)From The Brittany Legacy Collection, Part I.
