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

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."
