1854 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated
|
CH BU |
$18,000.00 |
- with some claims to the Gem category. Deep orange-gold toning with superb satiny lustre over surfaces that have been exceptionally well kept. There are some very light hairlines, otherwise this coin would be Gem. |

1854 Low 'S' in STATES. Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$3,200.00 |
This fascinating coin shows many of the characteristics of a true Proof, of which possibly 15 were struck with another obverse die than that used to strike the present coin. The late Walter Breen actually noted this coin's distinctive obverse die in his Encyclopedia of U.S. Proof coins, drawing attention to the final 'S' in STATES, which is visibly lower than the base line of STATE.

About Uncirculated and Choice with substantial peripheral lustre emphasizing an exemplary strike. Here is a thoroughly satisfying specimen of the first date and of the important small DOLLARS sub-type it represents. |

1854'D'
|
AU |
$20,000.00 |
About Uncirculated. Lustre inhabits the protected areas of the devices and legends, with a lovely coppery glow on both obverse and reverse. The high points exhibit light friction, which is partially the result of a past light wiping. The poorly defined denticles on both sides allow identification of this issue even from the obverse, and the connected '54' in date is also diagnostic of this... more |

1854'O'
|
CH EF |
$4,750.00 |
Choice Extremely Fine. Pale green-gold toning over decent surfaces. The face has a trio of light circulation marks, otherwise this scarce date has rather nice eye appeal. Here is a date that is quite in demand as the only 'O' mint Three Dollar Gold piece. PCGS EF45. |

BU |
$3,750.00 |
- with claims to the Choice category. Attractive greenish-gold toning over very nice surfaces. A few light hairlines are present, otherwise this coin is quite nice for the grade. PCGS MS61. |

1863
|
CH EF |
$1,500.00 |
Choice Extremely Fine. A nice example of this Civil War era coin. Abundant mint lustre permeates the lightly worn central device. The reverse is also quite sharp. PCGS XF45. |

1865
|
CH AU |
$4,500.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, not far from Mint State. Substantial mint frost is found in the fields, concentrating around the sharply defined reliefs. A few light marks can be found, recalling a brief and trouble-free circulation for this example of a late Civil War date. A mere 1,140 pieces were struck of this date. |
|
1217 |
1866 Brilliant Uncirculated
|
BU |
$4,600.00 |
A pleasing example of this low, 4,000 piece mintage coin. All central devices including lettering and numerals are boldly distinctive. Both obverse and reverse are mildly reflective. |
|

1875 Choice Brilliant Proof
|
CH BR PF |
$117,500.00 |
- boasting full Cameo contrast for the most dazzling visual effect. This splendidly glowing coin's deep liquid-glass mirror fields are drowned in the richest imaginable yellow gold. Studied under a glass, the obverse reveals some of the U.S. Mint-made relief die-polish lines typical of so many 19th century Proofs. A few light hairlines can be found on the obverse, while the reverse is essentially fully... more |

1887 Superb Gem Brilliant Uncirculated
|
SUP GEM BU |
$21,000.00 |
A spectacular coin in all respects with lovely surfaces, a strong strike and light lemon-gold toning. One would have to look long and hard to find an imperfection on this outstanding example, as very few of this year's 6,000 piece mintage survive at this lofty grade level. NGC MS66. |

BU |
$1,800.00 |
