A scarce date with a mintage of 96,000 and a low survival rate of mostly low quality coins. In fact, a mint state 1861-S has never been grade at PCGS or NGC. This is a very attractive example with soft silver-gray surfaces that show smooth, even circulation wear with strong remaining detail throughout Liberty’s seated […]

Outstanding for the grade with a sharp strike and strong silvery luster. The surfaces are choice with just minor tics, well within the allowance for the grade. Remnants of a 0 are visible at the base of the second 1 in the date.

Block CSA Watermark. A great note that displays strong color, premium paper, and 4 wide margins. A central vignette features slaves hoeing cotton. John C. Calhoun is portrayed on the left and Columbia is displayed on the right. Stamps of 3 interest payments are located on the back.

A full border wraps around bold black and green color. The premium paper is bright and original. Very eye appealing!

Full borders surround green, pink, and black inks that blend nicely with bright premium paper.

This note displays an allegorical vignette of the South striking down the North and a portrait of Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary of War and later Secretary of State for the Confederacy. Typical tight margins surround strong black ink and bright premium paper.

A beautiful example of this early Legal Deuce displays unusually vibrant color that contrasts nicely with its bright premium paper. Only lightly handled and with a well deserved ‘EPQ’ designation that is not often seen in this series.

Portrait of Alexander Hamilton. Problem-free with well balanced margins and strong inks.

Bullion Bank of Washington, DC. Remainder. Bold red and black inks are displayed on the front while the back is colored with vibrant green ink. The premium paper is bright.
