A run of low-mintage run of Philadelphia eagles kicks off with the 1870 issue, followed by the rare 1871, 1872, and 1873 dates. In the case of the 1870 ten dollar the mintage of only 3,900 is actually a good indication of this issue’s rarity. It is rarely seen in AU condition and only one coin is known in mint condition (an NGC MS60).

The NGC population is only 12 with 1 graded higher – an MS60 example.

Listed at $16,800 in the CDN CPG and $16,250 in the NGC price guide.
