FUN FACTS
π΄
7,500 for nearly identical coin at major coin dealer (click the 4th image).
Extremely attractive for the grade and price. The images do not do justice. Naturally mirrored beauty!
The ONLY Branch Mint Seated coin in ANY denomination called SP or PR by ICG. Pop ONE in ALL grades, dates, and denominations.
Thus, ICG must have been incredibly impressed with this gorgeous Civil War artifact to have called it a Specimen Proof!
PNG members Randy Campbell and Skip Fazzari attribute these for ICG, so they must have been flabbergasted by it to have called it their only SP or PR of ALL Seated coins in ALL denominations in ALL grades!
Between them, the legendary Campbell and Fazzari have published thousands of articles in Coin World, Numismatic News, and elsewhere.
All known characteristics of documented Branch Mint Proofs are present (message us for details).
Easily PR66 by third-rate slab standards and Superb Gem Proof+++ by "commercial" raw coin standards.
Likely minted during the Civl War for commemorative purposes.
