Description
Flashy 1885 Ten Dollar, MS64 ★ Prooflike
1885 $10 MS64 ★ Prooflike NGC. This desirable eagle has notably reflective fields and unusually mark-free surfaces. The strike is complete, the eye appeal is substantial, and it is unlikely that there is another Prooflike example of comparable quality. In Mint State the 1885 is a better date, and the issue emerges as a significant scarcity above the MS62 grade. Millions of ten dollar pieces were struck annually at Philadelphia between 1880 and 1882, but that production apparently exceeded demand, since large-scale mintages at the facility did not resume until 1892. Census: 1 in 64 ★ Prooflike, none finer as Prooflike or with a Star designation (3/09).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 266D, PCGS# 78706)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 16.72 grams
