Description
1866 With Motto Ten, MS61
Only Two Certified Finer
1866 $10 MS61 NGC. The date is sharply doubled as always for
the circulation strike 1866 eagles (proofs have a normal date).
Gold coin production came nearly to a halt at the Philadelphia Mint
throughout the 1860s, during and after the Civil War, beginning in
1862. From that year through 1877, the average coinage of
circulation-strike Liberty eagles was less than 6,400 coins per
year. The first year of the With Motto reverse type had a below
average mintage of only 3,750 coins. Nearly 40 years ago, David
Akers wrote that he had only seen one Mint State example of this
issue, although NGC reports seven such pieces today. PCGS has not
certified any Mint State representatives. This impressive example
has lovely orange-gold luster with minimal marks are reflective
surfaces. The strike is good, and the eye appeal is excellent.
Census: 3 in 61 (1 in 61+), 2 finer (1/18).From The Admiral Collection. (Registry values: N7079)
