Choice About Uncirculated. Abundant mint lustre edges the devices and legends of this lightly prooflike specimen that is beautifully toned in amber with electric blue at the peripheries; 1840 Small Letters. About Uncirculated. Subtle lavender tones augment dominant silver-gray surfaces on this specimen that is lightly toned in gold at the peripheries. Light friction noted in the fields. 2 pieces.
1794 1851 VG $450.00

Very Good. Charming light gray obverse changes to a luminescent rose and amber toned gray reverse of this very scarce specimen of just 200,750 coined of this date.
1795 1853 Arrows and Rays CH AU $425.00

Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of a Mint State grade. Crisply defined, well struck devices stand out bold against lustrous, lightly worn fields. Subtle ambers, golds and blues populate the areas in and around the devices on this very attractive survivor of this important one-year type.
