R-3. Regular issue dies with a plain edge, but struck in bronze rather than the regular issue copper-nickel. Thin planchet variety struck with medallic alignment. This was the Mint’s first time to experiment with bronze. This sharply struck example blends a considerable amount of mint red with soft brown toning.

Crisp white luster and a sharp strike with pleasing clean surfaces. A lovely example of this popular Civil War date.

A remarkable Gem survivor from the heart of the Civil War. This piece boasts brilliant, frosty luster across both sides, with razor-sharp detail in Liberty’s figure, shield, and surrounding stars. The reverse eagle is equally bold, showing crisp feather detail and a strong strike. Surfaces are outstanding for the issue, with only the faintest traces […]

Wonderful original surfaces are highly reflective with frosted fully struck design features. Iridescent turquoise, silver, and rose toning enhance this coins fantastic eye appeal. A scarce Civil War issue that saw a mere 460 proofs struck. Housed in an old green label holder.

Sharp detail with lustrous silver-gray surfaces. Just 100,000 minted and, like all the early ‘S’ mints, they saw heavy circulation.

Portrait of Clement Clay.  Bright and fresh with premium paper.

State of Florida. Vignettes include Commerce seated, a sailing vessel, and a slave carrying a basket of cotton. Nice full margins. The original paper shows uncommented toning, yet still has plenty of eye appeal.
