1856 LIBERTY HEAD $10 MS63

VERY CHOICE SATIN LUSTROUS SURFACES. JUST TWO COINS GRADED HIGHER AT PCGS. Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated are the two grade levels at which one is most likely to encounter a surviving 1856 Eagle. Enough coins are extant in those grades that the 1856 is actually only a scarce issue when compared to most others in the No Motto Liberty Eagle series. Mint State examples are very rare coins in an absolute sense, of course, but the 1856 is still one of the more frequently encountered No Motto Eagles at that level. In terms of overall rarity, the 1856 (60,490 pieces produced) is similarly ranked to the 1844-O, 1850 Large Date, 1853-O and 1856-S.
