Description
1862 Ten Dollar, MS61
Just Three PCGS-Graded Uncirculated Pieces
1862 $10 MS61 PCGS. The 1862 is the second most available
Civil War-era ten dollar, but it is many times more difficult to
locate in all grades than the most common issue, the 1861. There
are probably just over 100 pieces known in all grades with fewer
than two dozen in About Uncirculated. It should be noted that the
current PCGS population figure of 29 in AU55 is undoubtedly
inflated by resubmissions. PCGS has graded two 1862 eagles in
Uncirculated with one finer (12/19). The finest known are:1. MS64 NGC. S.S. Republic. National Money Show Auction (Bowers and Merena, 4/2005), lot 2004, where it sold for $41,975.
2. MS63 NGC. Stanley Kesselman to Harry Bass, February 17,1971; Bass Collection, Part IV (Bowers and Merena, 11/2000), lot 681, where it realized $12,650 (as PCGS MS62).
3. MS61 PCGS. FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2016), lot 5620, where it brought $12,925.
4. MS61 PCGS. New York Signature (Heritage, 10/2015), lot 3549, where it sold for $18,800. Harvey Jacobson Collection.
It should be noted that the only examples of this date finer than the present coin are either off the market in strong hands or are significantly more expensive than the Jacobson coin. This is an important piece for the advanced gold collector. Each side is bright yellow-gold and slight reflectivity is present in the fields. Numerous small abrasions are scattered across each side and the strike is complete.
