These are WAY under valued there are less than 50 on the population reports. This coin could go AU on a good day. A truly rare coin. No stars Half-Dime from New Orleans, the first NOLA H10c. This could be the first coin off the press at New Orleans.

This is a rare coin! On par with the 1914 D Lincoln for under appreciated rarity. Less than 200 certified today, with at least half "problem coins". Then half of those "non-problem coins" are found in low grade, i.e. < XF-40

Wow try finding this coin in a nice uncirculated grade. Many Unc's have the appearance of Miss Liberty's feet being washed away as though they were made of sand. The washed away appearance of the feet and date is as struck but not attractive to me. Consequently I have avoided those strikes and as a result it took me 3 years to find this coin. I love the sharpness and the New Orleans mint. It has original color. There are likely less than 300 of these no stars half dimes still in existence. This is the rarest of the "mini-Gobrichts".

This is a one year type from New Orleans. All other "Liberty Seated" dimes from New Orleans have the stars on the obverse with "United States of America" on the reverse. The only other Liberty Seated New Orleans issue with the "Legend" on the Obverse is the 1891-O Quarter which is in order of magnitude more expensive. This may have to suffice for a while as my example of New Orleans issued Liberty Seated Legend obverse for a while.
Blast white but not with the dipped look.

First obverse mint mark on a US coin. This is one of my favorites. The coin pictured is actually housed in an old ANACS AU-55 holder. I owned both coins but this one is much more attractive. I would send it in to NGC but I am concerned by their policy of not grading it without cracking it out. If it goes to a tough grader and comes back with details grade I lose. Maybe I'll send it to PCGS.

This coin is as common in MS as not! Thanks to a few $1000 bags stored in the treasury for more than 100 years. These bags were bid on with the understanding that they were non-CC Morgan dollars. The lucky bidders found 1859-O and 1860-O Liberty Seated dollars instead. The 100 years of bag storage and movement accounts for the large population of "bag marked" MS-60 through 62 coins of which this is one example. Common in MS but rare in Gem (65) MS.

This is unequivocally the rarest New Orleans $1 gold piece in mint condition. There are likely less than 20 and may be less than 10 coins that truly make the mint state grade. This coin has had several incarnations with the most notable being that it is the Plate Coin (Photographic Example of the 1850-O gold dollar) in Winter's "Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint" (I tracked the photo through several auction sites) and then each case, both NGC and PCGS, the grade was always MS-63. There are a number of coins that were previously graded in the high about uncirculated level and recently got bumped up to the MS 61-62 level. This coin has several areas that appear to be related to other coins rubbing against it within a bank bag. Nevertheless, the luster on the high points is fully intact with some bag marks but not distractingly so, such to justify the 63 grade. Also, of interest, the mint mark is much smaller than for the 1851-O. If you look at my New Orleans Mint gold dollar set you can compare the pictures. There is quite a difference between the mint marks on the coins from the 2 years. Enjoy.

Likely would have graded as an AU in the 80's then a crack out to get to "mint state". Is it wear or bag marks? A nice enough coin but my grade is a solid AU-58.

This $20 Gold piece demonstrates the classic New Orleans green hue. This is most pronounced on the $20 Gold pieces. this coin is not quite an about un-circulated example but it is close. Note that each star has full definition. I am curious what would happen if I sent to coin in to NCS to have the dirt removed and then re-submitted it.
These coins are far more rare then their score would suggest. Hands down New Orleans $20's are far more rare than those from any other mint.
