A choice borderline uncirculated coin with a sharp strike and lustrous silver-gray surfaces.

Pleasing light coin-gray surfaces and strong detail for the grade. Popular New Orleans Mint issue and one-year only Arrows & Rays sub-type.

No Arrows. Very scarce and truly rare in high grade. Just 19 coins have graded finer than this example at PCGS. This is nice original coin with green, gold, ruby, and blue toning on the obverse and a coin-gray reverse with light blue toning at the periphery.

A spectacular coin from the first year of the issue, offering blazing luster, exceptional strike detail, and rich original color. The surfaces are nearly pristine and the eye appeal fantastic!

R-4. Original. The designs are similar to the contemporary large cent but smaller in scale, and there are no obverse stars. The wreath is undersized relative to the legends. Struck in bronze with a plain edge.

Arrows. Lustrous mostly white surfaces and well struck. Outstanding for the grade with minimal marks.

24,000 minted which is relatively high for the series, but few have survived and very few exist in this high of grade. This coin is a desirable early die state variety with a strong date and mintmark. Later die states show clashing and die breaks, particularly on the reverse, which dramatically affect the boldness of […]

CAC. A strange variety because the mintmark isn’t just too large, it’s also poorly shaped. This wasn’t a half dollar or dollar ‘O’ accidently used on a quarter die. The present coin is well detailed for the grade with well-worn but still very attractive coin-gray surfaces.

Arrows. A spectacular Premium Gem survivor of this important New Orleans issue. The “Arrows at Date” subtype was struck only in 1854 and 1855, signifying the slight weight increase mandated by the Coinage Act of 1853. This piece offers brilliant silver-white luster across frosty surfaces, with a satiny cartwheel sheen radiating strongly on both obverse […]
