1869 Ten Dollar Liberty, AU58
Low-Mintage Gold Rarity

1869 $10 AU58 NGC. The 1869 Liberty eagle is always in demand because of its memorably low business-strike mintage of 1,830 pieces. Contemporary collectors preferred to update their collections by purchasing proof specimens from the Mint every year, so few high-quality circulation strikes were saved for numismatic purposes. The issue is very rare in AU58 condition, and finer coins are virtually unobtainable.

The present coin is an impressive near-Mint specimen, with just a trace of wear over the high points of the well-detailed design elements. Some minor chatter is present in the fields, but the light orange-gold surfaces are free from large or distracting abrasions. Prooflike reflectivity is evident in sheltered areas. An attractive specimen of this rare and overlooked issue. Census: 7 in 58, 3 finer (12/17).(Registry values: N4719)
