Sharply struck with brilliant white lustrous surfaces and just a touch of high-point rub. Only 30,700 minted with few survivors as most were exported to the Orient for trade and subsequently melted.

A scarce Civil War–era issue with a mintage of just 93,600, and few approach the near-Gem quality seen here. This example displays sharp detail, original luster, and strong eye appeal, with only minor contact marks keeping it from Gem status.

CAC. Rich reddish-brown luster with generous flashes of original mint red, especially around the devices and protected fields. Sharply struck with bold shield details and crisp legends. A high-quality example of the much scarcer Small Motto variant from the first year of the series.

CAC. Extremely well struck with beautiful lustrous surfaces that are both mark-free and spot-free. A fair amount of faded red blends with light olive-brown and enhances this coin’s strong eye appeal!

CAC. Sharply struck with no significant marks or spots. The surfaces are original and attractive with a stunning blend of copper-red and lime-brown iridescence.

An outstanding example of this popular Civil War date which saw a mintage of just 500 proofs.

The obverse is mostly brilliant with a halo of iridescent gold at the rim. The reverse […]

Soft silvery luster and crisp detail, particularly in Liberty’s coronet and the sharply defined wreath and Roman numerals on the reverse.
