Military Endorsement. An iconic issue that has an appearance as rich as its history. These notes were ordered by the Confederate Treasury and printed by the National Bank Note Company in New York prior to the war and delivered to Montgomery Alabama, the Confederacy’s first capital. This example was issued and signed by Ferdinand Malloy, […]

Military Endorsement. A lovely uncancelled Richmond $50 with strong color, attractive paper, and a well deserved ‘EPQ’ designation. Issued by Edward A. Palfrey, Captain and ACS, on September 27th, 1861. Three vignettes include a central vignette of Pallas (agriculture) and Ceres (industry), one of George Washington at right, and Justice at left. Signatures are still […]

An attractive early Richmond $50 with great color and premium paper. Three vignettes include a central vignette of Pallas (agriculture) and Ceres (industry), one of George Washington at right, and Justice at left. Signatures are still bold. Borders are nearly fully framed with the upper left corner just shy of the mark. Wonderful eye appeal!

Nearly new with strong eye appeal.

CAC. Sharply struck and very flashy with blazing bright luster and spot-free surfaces. A beautiful copper-nickel cent with tremendous eye appeal.

Sharply struck with brilliant luster off choice surfaces that have a very faint champagne hue. Outstanding for the grade.

Well detailed and a borderline FINE with all letters of LIBERTY visible. A rare date with 96,000 minted but just 60 estimated survivors in all grades, raw and slabbed, according to PCGS.

Just 15,500 minted with a low survival rate. A string of rare dates came out of the San Francisco Mint in the 1850’s thru the late 1870’s. All these dates had relatively low mintages plus they saw heavy commercial use, so high grade coins are very rare. PCGS has yet to grade an 1861-S in […]
