5396 1850 AU-58 (NGC) (see below) $5,000.00

A splendid example, this piece is quite beautiful in its appearance—sharply struck, with bright yellow gold surfaces and with eye appeal. The piece has seen some limited circulation, as reflected by the grading number, but is far choicer than normally seen with this numerical assignment. If you are seeking a piece for a type set, investigate this carefully.The S.S. Republic was lost...  more

A lustrous, attractive example at this grade level, with better quality than usually seen. The 1866-1876 variety is quite scarce, relatively speaking, as such coins were struck too late to be included in the notable treasure ships that have been recovered. If we were a stockbroker we would recommend this as a "buy," after which you should "hold."
