Description

1867 Ten Dollar, AU58
Only Two Finer

1867 $10 AU58 NGC. Commercial mintages were invariably meager during the era from 1862 to 1873, which is associated with unbacked Federal paper money trading at a significant discount to specie. With a production of 3,090 pieces, the 1867 would be rare in any event, but the lack of contemporary numismatic interest in such a high gold denomination led to a gradual reduction of survivors in circulation. An estimated 75 to 100 survivors are known.

NGC has graded a single example finer than this, an MS60 piece, while PCGS has only awarded one higher grade as well, an MS61 (11/13). This near-Mint example retains areas of luster, adding to the visual appeal. The surfaces are deep yellow-gold overall, with hints of red and peach present. The coin exhibits a sharp strike, with the high points revealing light wear. This is a wonderful representative.
