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.

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

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

Strong detail with pleasing color and choice surfaces.

A pleasing example of this scarce Dahlonega Mint issue which saw a mintage of just 8,382 coins. This 1850-D  Dollar displays warm, original yellow-gold color with subtle orange undertones and genuine Mint State luster. Liberty’s portrait shows clear central definition, with bold stars and legible dentils framing the obverse. The reverse features a well-defined wreath […]

Satiny white luster and a sharp strike, with just minor marks, but nothing of significance that distracts from this coin’s excellent eye appeal. Early ‘O’ Mint halves are hard to find with this kind of flash!

Remainder. Windham County Bank. A central vignette features three allegorical females next to a bust of George Washington. Four large denomination counters flank the right and left sides. Great black and red ink flows across premium white paper. Super eye appeal!

Chemical Bank. A bright proof with deep black inking. Vignettes include the state comptroller’s die at left, three dogs chasing startled birds at center, and two allegorical females shearing wheat at right. Printed on India paper mounted to cardstock, this example displays six typical POC’s across the signature lines.

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.
