<B>1861 $10 MS63 NGC.</B></I> As one of the most available No Motto Liberty eagle issues, the 1861 is a perennial favorite of type collectors. The high-end enthusiast, however, knows how challenging finding an attractive Mint State example can be. Garrett and Guth (2006) write: "Mint State examples remain scarce, with most huddled in the MS-61 grade."<BR> Compared to such coins, the Select representative offered here is an absolute delight. The strike is crisp, and the shining yellow-gold surfaces show delicate orange accents near the rims. Though a number of small, scattered marks populate the fields, the portrait is surprisingly clean for the grade assigned. NGC and PCGS have certified just one finer example each (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
