***Auction Highlight*** 1859-p Gold Liberty Eagle $10 Graded Unc Details By USCG. One of many unheralded and too often overlooked condition rarities from the No Motto Liberty Eagle series, the 1859 entered the annals of coinage history as a low-mintage issue. A mere 16,013 examples were struck, a total production that is similar to those achieved by most other Liberty Eagles from the mid-to-late 1850s. Also in keeping with other Tens from that decade, the 1859 suffered a grievous rate of attrition, probably due mostly to commercial use but also perhaps due to the destruction of some examples through melting during the Civil War era. Survivors are few and far between in numismatic circles, and when encountered at all tend to be well worn in the Fine-EF grade range. Even properly graded AUs are very scarce, and the issue is a major rarity in Mint State. What's more, the few Mint Sate survivors known are largely confined to the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range, and the finest-known example is a lone MS-63. This Uncirculated example, while details, ranks as one of only eight Mint State 1859 Liberty Eagles known. A rare bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of 19th century U.S. gold coinage.
