CH AU |
$30,000.00

Choice About Uncirculated. Medium gold surfaces show lustre concentrating around the well defined reliefs on either side. Actual circulation is distinctly limited, though the fields exhibit an even distribution of tiny marks consistent with bag storage long ago. Here is a fine exemplar of an historic date and variety of America's first gold coinage. |

$20,000.00

Choice About Uncirculated, on the very cusp of Mint State. The date shows the '95' virtually touching and the reverse bears a repunched 'D' in UNITED that are diagnostic to this variety.

Such actual circulation that is present can scarcely be called obtrusive, but careful examination... more |
