Sandon's Nineteenth Century Circulating Issue Type Set
25C CAPPED BUST, SMALL SIZE (1831-1838)

Owner Comments:

I own uncertified examples of each date of this series from 1831 through 1838. Two of these coins may grade as high as XF40, but in my opinion they are not worth certifying. This specimen is of the "small letters" reverse (though not so designated on the holder), an 1831 only variety that I didn't have, so it is suitable for an "incidental" type set.

This specimen is well detailed, though in my opinion cleaned due to a somewhat "off" gray color and light but fairly extensive hairlining. It also has an obverse staple scratch and other blemishes not visible in the photos. I purchased it at an online auction in November 2020. But for the pandemic I might have been able to view the actual coin before bidding. Photos courtesy of Stacks Bowers Galleries.
