Exceedingly Rare 1866-S No Motto Ten Dollar

1866-S $10 No Motto AU55 NGC. This is only the third About Uncirculated representative of this rare issue that we can remember handling. The orange-gold features retain ample mint frost and bold striking definition, particularly over the focal features. Both sides are abraded from a short stint in circulation, but no more so that one should expect for the assigned grade. Produced to the extent of just 8,500 pieces, Breen (1988) describes this issue as "very rare." In his 1980 auction survey, Akers stated that the 1866-S No Motto was the rarest Liberty Eagle after only the 1864-S and 1875. Both major grading services have seen just four coins in AU55, two in AU58, and a lone Mint State (MS60 NGC) representative (1/02).
