A pleasing example of this scarce date with sharp detail and lustrous original toned surfaces. Just a touch of high-point friction keeps this out of a mint state holder. Only 140,000 minted with few high grade survivors.

Over 2 million minted but very few have survived in mint state. This is a nice brilliant example with vibrant mint luster and a very sharp strike. The surfaces are quite attractive with fewer abrasions than typically encountered for the grade.

Well detailed with a well defined head, stars, and wreath. The surfaces are lustrous and mostly white with light toning mainly at the borders.

There is some disagreement among experts as to whether the under-digit is a ‘6’ or an ‘8’. The lower half of that digit is very clear and to the left and well below the ‘9’. To this cataloger, it certainly looks like an ‘8’. This is a well struck and lustrous example with satiny silver-white […]

Moffat & Co. of San Francisco struck rectangular gold ingots and gold coins. They produced $5 pieces in 1849 and 1850 and $10 pieces in 1849. The words MOFFAT & CO appear on Liberty’s coronet instead of LIBERTY as seen on regular U.S. Mint issues. This is one of the few mint state survivors of […]

Small Date. Far rarer than the Large Date variant of this date. This is a well struck example with original antique-gold surfaces and substantial underlying luster.

Strong detail with glossy light brown surfaces and just a touch of rub.

Strong detail with pleasing color and choice surfaces.
