Farmers and Merchants Bank. Ashland. A lovely note with black ink and large red protectors. A central vignette features a cattle drive. Quite eye appealing!

CAC. A lovely original coin with choice surfaces and sharp detail.

Scarce in any grade with a mintage of 26,000. This is a well detailed and pleasing example with bright yellow-gold surfaces.

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.

Small Letters. This coin shows strong detail in the eagle’s feathers and reverse wreath, with even medium brown color blended with reddish luster in the protected areas of the design. Very flashy for the grade with light abrasions that are consistent with an MS-62.

Extremely well struck for the date with just slight weakness to the hair on the obverse. The reverse, including the date, is well struck. Both sides are lustrous with choice surfaces that are devoid of significant abrasions. Just 3,477 minted and quite scarce, but fortunately a few nice examples have survived.
