A scarce date with a mintage of 96,000 and a low survival rate of mostly low quality coins. In fact, a mint state 1861-S has never been grade at PCGS or NGC. This is a very attractive example with soft silver-gray surfaces that show smooth, even circulation wear with strong remaining detail throughout Liberty’s seated […]

Sharply struck with lustrous white surfaces and just light high-point rub.

Outstanding for the grade with a sharp strike and strong silvery luster. The surfaces are choice with just minor tics, well within the allowance for the grade. Remnants of a 0 are visible at the base of the second 1 in the date.

A well center early legal tender with strong inks and original paper.

A full border wraps around bold black and green color. The premium paper is bright and original. Very eye appealing!

Full borders surround green, pink, and black inks that blend nicely with bright premium paper.

CSA Block Letters watermarked. Fully margined with good color and bright orange underprint. John C. Calhoun, right, was considered the intellectual father of the Confederacy. Other vignettes include slaves hoeing cotton and a maiden left. Reverse has the issued stamp dated 18 Nov. 1862, Savannah, as well as two interest paid stamps in Augusta.

State of Georgia. Well centered with solid black ink and an orange protector. A state seal stamp can be found on the center right and left.

This note displays an allegorical vignette of the South striking down the North and a portrait of Judah P. Benjamin, Secretary of War and later Secretary of State for the Confederacy. Typical tight margins surround strong black ink and bright premium paper.
