Description
1865-S Normal Date Ten Dollar, XF45
CAC Endorsed
1865-S $10 XF45 PCGS. CAC. Varieties of 1865-S eagles exist
with a Normal Date and an Inverted Date. The latter is visually
spectacular and well-known, but the Normal Date is far scarcer. In
fact, it is likely the second rarest Liberty Head eagle from San
Francisco, trailing only the better-known and far more expensive
1864-S.There are as few as 30-35 examples known of the Normal Date and most are in lower grades. A properly graded Extremely Fine is about as nice as this issue is generally seen and there are as few as a half dozen or so in About Uncirculated. The finest known is the Admiral Collection coin, graded MS60 by NGC and sold by Heritage for $90,000 as lot 4266 in their February 2018 auction.
This lightly worn Choice XF specimen offers pleasing orange-gold surfaces that are remarkably lightly abraded. What appears to be damage on the cheek of Liberty is, in fact, a mint-made defect seen on all 1865-S Normal Date eagles.
The appearance rarity of this issue can be best appreciated by the fact that CAC has approved just three 1865-S Normal Date eagles: this coin, an AU53 and an AU58.
Since the Bass Collection, Part III, lot 658 coin sold in May 2000, there has been just one PCGS XF45 1865-S Normal Date ten dollar auctioned: FUN Signature (Heritage 1/2011), lot 5193, which sold for a reasonable $7,475. The coin we offer here will no doubt bring considerably more.
