1861 $10 AU55 NGC. NGC Census: (94/215). PCGS Population (32/50). Mintage: 113,100. Minted and used in commerce during the first year of the American Civil War. Just think of the history this coin has seen. Excellent original surfaces, choice color and scarce as heck as most owners of these coins are reluctant to sell them! Less than 3 years away from the start of the 150th Anniversary of the War and we would think that many more investors and collectors will be looking for these dates.
