Description
Important 1866 Eagle Rarity, AU58
1866 $10 AU58 PCGS. Doubled Date. With Motto and the first year of the modified coinage design. Only San Francisco produced 1866 No Motto eagles. Apparently always seen with the prominently doubled date, the original placement well right of the final position. Only 3,750 examples were coined, so the existence of but one variety seems reasonable. The 30 proofs were apparently from a different obverse die, as Breen specifically states "no date recutting" in his Proof Encyclopedia. Probably an oversight, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth make no mention of the date doubling, as dramatic as it is. Lightly abraded obverse and reverse surfaces exhibit frosty yellow luster with hints of peripheral orange toning. A lovely piece, and an important rarity in the series. Population: 3 in 58, 0 finer (12/07).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 264J, PCGS# 8649, Greysheet# 9387)
