Warm, even golden-brown surfaces with strong original mint luster.

R-5. Similar to the regular issue dies, except the motto GOD OUR TRUST is set directly into the field without a scroll above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is a lovely example with a gorgeous turquoise tint when tilted under a light.

R-3. Regular issue dies with a plain edge, but struck in bronze rather than the regular issue copper-nickel. Thin planchet variety struck with medallic alignment. This was the Mint’s first time to experiment with bronze. This sharply struck example blends a considerable amount of mint red with soft brown toning.

CAC. Outstanding for the grade with frosty white devices and highly reflective deep mirrored fields. A scarce proof with a mintage of just 460 pieces.

Crisp white luster and a sharp strike with pleasing clean surfaces. A lovely example of this popular Civil War date.

Wonderful original surfaces are highly reflective with frosted fully struck design features. Iridescent turquoise, silver, and rose toning enhance this coins fantastic eye appeal. A scarce Civil War issue that saw a mere 460 proofs struck. Housed in an old green label holder.

Sharp detail with lustrous silver-gray surfaces. Just 100,000 minted and, like all the early ‘S’ mints, they saw heavy circulation.

High R-7. The obverse die is from the Seated Liberty design used for regular-issue coinage in 1863. The reverse features the standard perched eagle motif with the addition of a scroll with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST inscribed. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.

Low R-7. Struck from the regular obverse die, and paired with the regular reverse die of 1866 with the motto above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is a sharply struck specimen with a deep cobalt-blue, golden-brown, and forest-green patina.
