Owner Comments:

The New Orleans mint was the first branch mint established for issuing silver coinage. Charlotte and Dahlonega were also established at the same time, 1835, but only produced gold coins. These mints were needed to support commerce in the South of the nation. Operations at the New Orleans Mint started in 1838 and stopped in 1861 during the Civil War. They resumed in 1879 and ended for good in 1909. My example is from the first year of silver dollar coinage, 1846, when only 59,000 were produced.

From the January 2014 FUN US Coin Signature Auction, Orlando.
