94,940 minted but it likely that none ever circulated in the U.S. They were exported for trade with China and most were subsequently melted in China. PCGS estimates 1,100 have survived in all grades, raw and certified. This is a problem-free AU with light coin-gray surfaces and underlying luster.

CAC. Blast white and extremely flashy with a solid strike and heavy frost on the design.

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.
