Bank of the District of  Columbia. Very attractive with strong red and black inks and solid paper. Vignettes include a small group, a female portrait, and ‘Justice’. Considered a fraudulent bank and in business less than a year.

Sharply struck with glossy brown surfaces that show just a slight touch of rub.

CAC. A choice original coin with sharp detail and beautiful lustrous surfaces that display light golden-gray toning.

Extremely well struck for the date with just slight weakness to the hair on the obverse. The reverse, including the date, is well struck. Both sides are lustrous with choice surfaces that are devoid of significant abrasions. Just 3,477 minted and quite scarce, but fortunately a few nice examples have survived.

A pleasing example of this scarce date which brought $2115 when it sold in a June, 2017 Heritage Sale. There catalog description read, “This collector-grade example shows above-average VF detail and smooth problem-free surfaces. Deep olive-green and golden-gray toning attests to the originality of each side”.

Fantastic quality and nearly blast white with just a very faint champagne hue. The design is heavily frosted and contrasts beautifully against the deep mirrored fields. The surfaces are exceptionally choice with no notable abrasions.

Beautiful yellow-gold luster flows across sharply struck surfaces with only trivial abrasions. Just 15,558 minted which, amazingly, ranks as the ninth highest mintage for the $3 Princess. A tough and desirable example in a tough and desirable series!

Well struck with choice surfaces and vivid copper-nickel luster. A nice example of this popular first year Indian Head Cent.

R-5. Longacre’s “French Head” obverse with Liberty facing right. A ribbon inscribed with LIBERTY drapes across her neck. HALF DOLLAR is within a wreath on the reverse. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is a very attractive example with a fair amount of mint red blending with iridescent lavender-brown and lime-green.
