<B>1863 $10 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU50 Details.</B></I> The 1863 ten dollar is reflective of the overall decline in the production of most gold coins in that year. Only 1,248 pieces were produced, plus 30 proofs. The Garrett-Guth <I>Encyclopedia</B></I> points out that "Auction appearances are few and far between, averaging just over one a year." The finest example known of the 1863, and one of the very few Uncirculated coins extant, is the Harry Bass example. That coin grades MS63 and brought $52,900 when it was sold seven years ago.<BR> This coin shows even highpoint wear. The surfaces are subdued and both sides display even, reddish patina. As expected for a circulated ten dollar piece, each side has distributed minor to moderate marks. This coin represents a rare opportunity to acquire this important member of the No Motto ten dollar series.<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>\)
