$625.00

Extremely Fine or nearly so. A smooth, even example but for a single very minor obverse rim mark at 11:00. Delicate coppery-mauve highlights add character to the surfaces. |

1857'S'
|
EF |
$1,850.00
|
Extremely Fine. Evenly toned in dusky amber-rose hues, this specimen features a bold strike and the usual minor tics of average circulation. Discounting the unique 1870'S', the 1857'S' is the second rarest of the generally scarce San Francisco mint issues. |

$1,500.00
|
About Uncirculated. A scarce date with a mere 1,330 pieces struck. Traces of reflectivity are visible in the fields of both surfaces. Light friction is restricted to the highest points of the devices. |

1874 Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |
$1,850.00

Abundant mint lustre is indeed apparent on this well struck coin. The visual effect is enhanced by a lovely champagne radiance. |

1877 Brilliant Uncirculated

BU |
$16,000.00

- or somewhat finer. This coin displays the most remarkable prooflike gleam with deeper gold coalescing at the rims. Some scattered field marks are to be found, particularly on the obverse. One of 1,468 business strikes produced. The Dannreuther-Garrett 10-year auction record shows 39 appearances of this date, exactly three in grades higher than the present example. NGC MS61. |

1878 Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated

VERY CH BU |
$28,000.00

- and on the cusp of a full Gem grade. Essentially flawless fields radiate the brightest and richest mint frost one could hope for, complementing well struck devices and legends. Salmon and richer orange tones sparkle in the light, drawing attention to this premium quality specimen's bold mint lustre. Here is a coin whose common date status, superior grade and intense eye appeal make it... more |

1878 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$2,600.00
|
- with a firm claim to Choice. Scintillating bright gold lustre laves each side of this forcefully struck later date example. This was the last year in which any significant number of business strikes were produced but it remains elusive in Mint State grades. |

| 1681 |
1878 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$2,000.00
|
- and very close to the Choice category. Full mint bloom with nice satiny surfaces. Well struck but exhibiting a very trivial pinscratch on the jaw. |
