<B>1865-S<$10> 865 Over Inverted 186 XF45 NGC.</B></I> Ex: Richmond Collection. An attractive golden-brown example with much luster and clean surfaces for the grade. The strike is soft in the centers, and perhaps that is what prevents an AU assignment. The only inverted date in the Federal gold series, although among large cents such varieties exist for the 1844 and 1851 issues. Only 16,700 pieces were struck for the 1865-S eagle, and survivors are much fewer in number than later dates in the series with even smaller mintages. The 1865-S has two varieties, the normal date and the inverted date, and although the latter is less rare, it is nonetheless difficult to locate in all grades. Census: 8 in 45, 9 finer (8/06).<BR><I>From The Clifton Rodenburg Collection.</B></I>
