Satiny surfaces with a bright yellow-gold appearance. The look is quite clean with no marks of significance. Only 2,133 were minted and they’re quite difficult to find in any grade let alone this nice. Only 10 coins have been graded mint state by NGC.

CAC. This Gem example displays outstanding luster, a sharp strike, and smooth fields, with minimal contact marks and excellent preservation. While the obverse has a crisp white appearance, the reverse offers a silver-gray background with a light gold hue and a splash of turquoise toning.

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.

CAC. Well struck and lustrous with a light dusting of gold and no obvious sign of wear.

Small Letters. This coin shows strong detail in the eagle’s feathers and reverse wreath, with even medium brown color blended with reddish luster in the protected areas of the design. Very flashy for the grade with light abrasions that are consistent with an MS-62.

Outstanding for the grade with bright lustrous copper-nickel surfaces and a strong strike. Devoid of any significant marks or spots and a coin that exhibits wonderful eye appeal!

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 modest 35,250 minted and scarce in any grade. This is an attractive example with sharp detail and choice lustrous surfaces.

A pleasing example of this scarce date which brought $2115 when it sold in a June, 2017 Heritage Sale and was described as, “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”.
