Description

1866 Motto Ten Dollar, AU53
Rich Original Patina

1866 $10 AU53 NGC. A paltry mintage of only 3,780 With Motto gold eagles was accomplished in 1866, and these experienced a high attrition rate; only 75 to 90 pieces are extant in all grades, per the PCGS website estimate, and only five examples have been certified as Mint State (all NGC coins). This AU representative has deep apricot-gold color over fields that show substantial semiprooflike mirroring. Grade-consistent abrasions and high-point friction are present, but hardly impede the eye appeal. Census: 7 in 53, 18 finer (9/14).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264J, PCGS# 8649, Greysheet# 9387)

Weight: 16.72 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
