A spectacular Gem survivor from the New Orleans Mint, struck with arrows at the date to denote the weight standard adjustment of 1853–1855.

The 1855-S is scarcer than its mintage suggests, and attractive, problem-free circulated examples are always in strong collector demand. This coin offers well-balanced, even silver-gray surfaces with strong detail. Both obverse and reverse show even, moderate wear with just minor marks.

The ‘Arrows, No Rays’ Seated Half variety was only struck for two years with this being the only San Francisco Mint issue and by far the lowest mintage of the sub-type. This is an attractive example with solid detail and original toned surfaces.

Well struck with lustrous yellow-gold surfaces. Minimally abraded and wonderful for the grade. Pre-Civil War ‘Fives’ are tough in mint state and this date is no exception.

CAC. A cornerstone rarity in American numismatics with approximately 1,500 pieces struck and originally distributed to members of Congress and VIPs to promote the new design. This lightly circulated proof displays an even, medium-tan patina with subtle golden undertones and strong detail for the grade. The surfaces are very attractive and problem-free.

Well detailed and lustrous with nice clean surfaces.

Slanted 5. Well struck with vibrant satiny luster.

Silvery luster and a sharp strike with light high-point rub.

A choice example of this scarce Dahlonega Mint $5 gold coin with rich, honey-gold surfaces that display strong mint luster and sharp definition for the type, particularly on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers. Light wear is visible only under magnification, leaving this piece with near-Mint appeal and outstanding eye quality.
