With a mintage of 1,000 pieces struck in proof, this would already be a scarce coin. But the monster grade, deep toning, and CAC approval make this particular coin truly special.
Type one double date. From a low mintage of just 148,000 pieces, far fewer of which survive. A fantastic original with the typical weak reverse strike.
1865 $10 Ten Dollar, Judd-450, Pollock-522, High R.6, Upgraded from PR64 Brown PCGS green label holder. A "transitional" pattern that pairs the regular obverse die and the 1866 reverse die with the motto above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. According to the USPatterns.com website: "These are believed to have been struck in 1865 although they may also have been restruck in the early 1870s. The first appearance of this design was in the April 1870 auction by John Haseltine of coins from the Idler collection." The Brown surfaces are light overall with a lovely iridescence across both sides. Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/1998), lot 8179. From The Estate of Charles W. Montgomery.

Legend rated this a 10.5 on their 0-10 scale for color. I have never seen that before from them. CAC
First year of issue with the prominent 8th tailfeather on the reverse. LIBERTY is boldly doubled to the east on every letter. The coin appears easily proof-like, though for some reason PCGS did not grant it the designation. CAC.
