Lot 1516
1866 $10 Liberty. With motto. AU-50. A frosty, lustrous coin that was well struck and preserved. The surface show the usual profusion of tick marks from circulation, although they aren't deep, they are plentiful. This is the first year of the "with Motto" reverse, and mintages climbed to a paltry 3,750. Broken out of an NGC holder where it was graded AU 50. The date is doubled to the right, with all digits showing doubling, at the top of the 6s near the knobs, and at the base of the 1 the repunching is most obvious. Noted as "very rare" by Dr. Breen in his Encyclopedia with which we concur.
