1865 LIBERTY HEAD $10 AU58

WELL STRUCK, LUSTROUS SPECIMEN. LESS THAN 75 COINS BELIEVED TO EXIST IN ALL GRADES TODAY. SOLE SECOND FINEST GRADED BY PCGS WITH THE FINEST BEING A MS63. The 1865 is the final P-mint issue in the No Motto Liberty Eagle series, and it is an important key-date issue with just 3,980 business strikes originally produced. A fairly large number of those coins have survived when compared to the survivability rates for the 1863 and 1864, but we stress that the 1865 is still an extremely rare issue in an absolute sense. We believe that only 55-65 coins are traceable today, just one example of which was recovered with the treasure of the S.S. Republic . All but two or three of the 1865 Eagles that have survived are circulated to one degree or another.
