Lot 3778
1865-S $10 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. A rare and desirable date in high grades, this one boasts hazy golden luster and a decent strike. We see the outline of Liberty's hair through the mintmark and around the lower reverse devices from die clashing. These early no motto eagles in high grades are exceptionally difficult to locate, and despite reported mintages, most were melted or lost. Locating mint state coins of many of these early dates is impossible, and even high grade circulated examples receive well deserved attention whenever they appear at auction.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
