Description

1866 Eagle, AU58
First With Motto Issue
Just 3,750 Coins Struck

1866 $10 AU58 NGC. This remarkable near-Mint eagle displays sharp detail and partially lustrous fields with original honey-gold patina. Light surface abrasions accompany the grade. In 1866, coming out of the Civil War during which circulating gold coinage was heavily hoarded, there was little commercial need for new eagle production. The Philadelphia Mint struck only 3,750 pieces, all of the With Motto design type and all showing wide repunching right of the date digits. Perhaps only 75 to 90 examples survive in all grades today. Census: 2 in 58, 6 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N2998)

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

Weight: 16.72 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
