1867 Ten Dollar, AU58
Important Condition Census Example

1867 $10 AU58 PCGS. Despite a tiny mintage of 3,090 business strikes, the 1867 is not an especially well-known date in the Liberty Head eagle series. It is rare in all grades with an estimated 55-65 pieces known. PCGS shows a current total of 22 graded in About Uncirculated, but this number is almost certainly inflated by resubmissions and there are likely fewer than 10 coins known in this grade range. The 1867 is rare in AU55 and higher.

There are an estimated three or four 1867 eagles known in Uncirculated:

1. MS62 PCGS. Douglas Winter Numismatics 2019; private collection.
2. MS61 PCGS. Dallas Signature (Heritage, 3/2016), lot 5082, where it brought $36,425.
3. MS61 PCGS. Pre-Long Beach Auction (Goldberg Auctions, 2/2007), lot 2401, where it sold for $36,800.
4. MS60 NGC. Admiral Collection (Heritage, 2/2018), lot 4272, which realized $21,600.
5. MS60 NGC. ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3550, which sold for $23,000.

There are only two auction prices realized for this date in PCGS-certified AU58 and they are for the same coin; a choice piece with CAC approval. That coin last sold for $30,550 in the 2016 ANA Auction (Stack's Bowers, 8/2016), lot 3351, and it earlier brought the same amount in Heritage's 2013 ANA Signature, as lot 5881.

The Jacobson coin is comfortably in the Condition Census for the issue and it represents one of the finest 1867 eagles that can be obtained by the advanced specialist. The design elements are well-detailed, with just a trace of friction on the high points, and the lightly abraded butter-gold surfaces retain much original mint luster in sheltered areas. Population: 4 in 58, 5 finer (1/20).
