1866 Ten Dollar, AU55+
3,750 Coins Struck
Scarce in All Grades

1866 $10 AU55+ NGC. The first delivery delivery of Motto eagles took place on February 1, 1866 and comprised the entirety of the 3,750 ten dollar gold pieces struck at the Philadelphia Mint that year. Another 30 proofs were minted, cementing the date's status as a rarity in any format. Dave Bowers estimates 70 to 90 examples of the 1866 eagle extant, including four to six pieces in Mint State. This is a high-end Choice AU survivor with good design detail and attractive orange-gold color. Myriad abrasions are peppered throughout, including a couple of marks on Liberty's neck. Census: 12 in 55 (1 in 55+ ), 10 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N2998)
