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 […]

The scarcest Braided Hair Half Cent in mint state. This is a very attractive spot free example with glossy choice chocolate brown surfaces.

A scarce date with a mintage of just 12,148. All known examples show striking weakness particularly on the reverse and most survivors grade VF to XF. This is a nice lustrous Choice AU that is as well struck as this issue comes with fewer surface abrasions than typically seen.

Low R-7. The obverse displays CENT at the top, the date at the bottom, and one star on each side of the center. The center is setup to be a ring planchet but remains unperforated. The reverse is blank except for dentils around the border. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. A light dusting […]

Remainder. Iron Bank. Very well centered with attractive orange and black color and bright original paper. Vignettes include  larger portraits of Washington and John Marshall as well as small portraits of Adams and Jackson bisected by anchors.
