Lot 1769
1864. NGC graded AU Details, Improperly Cleaned. Mostly untoned. Only 2,630 struck. The 1860s decade saw limited gold issuance other than the double eagle denomination (used extensively for import payments). Civil War intervened in 1861-65. That, and the consequences of unbacked Legal Tender paper money issues drove gold and silver into hoards, to be replaced by shinplasters, tokens, and Fractional notes along with the Legal Tender or "greenback" currency flood (PCGS # 7985) .
Estimated Value $600 - 650.
