    The 53 and 54 are a great pair. There are a few of those 53's and 54's in OGH's that suggest to me a small hoard. They all have the same look.

    The 1859 is one of the most under valued No Motto $5's. Less than 100 known and after the 42's it is the larest $5 before the Civit War dates.

    The 1853 came from a group of at least five, which per certification number indicates that they were slabbed at the same time. I still own two from that grouping.

    The 1854 is from a different time/place submission though was with the 1853 in my "small hoard" for a period of time. That's obviously not what you had in mind. image

    Outstanding presentation of DOGs! image

    Nice group! I handled a number of those 1853 half eagles and some went to PCGS board members. They were a great bunch of coins.

    on the subject of the 53 and 54 coins:

    i think the 47 is very close, especially in hand, to the look of the 53 and 54. the cert number is much closer to the 53 as well, but i don't know if that means anything though. they definitely "go" together!

    the 59 is much better than au50, i think. in hand, it has the luster of some 55 coins i have seen. this one should have a gold sticker, but i guess that's just me over-grading coins i like. i have a tendency to do that! image

    in retrospect, it's a bit weird to see a moffat in this grouping, but i needed a good photo of it and i am building a set of fives that includes territorials. the fields on this piece are rough due to either the crudeness of the die or rust. in this thread, 1844-D Quarter Eagle ex Bass, by JJSingleton, the coin shows similar fields...is that strange for a dahlonega piece? does this happen due to unpolished dies? does anyone see and have a proper explanation of what i am talking about?

    Regarding the 44-D Qtr Eagle, Doug Winter discusses planchet roughness as the cause. I suspect if it was rusted dies it would have effected all of the coins. Dahlonega was notorious for poor planchet preparation.

    I hope my wife comes home soon so she can find my eyeballs as they've popped outta my head somewhere here in my den. They are all beautiful but I especially like the 1813!! Just lovely !! image

    Congrats to Todd for such GREAT imaging!!!!
