I used to do the Civil War era quarter-eagles. At least when I did them, some of those dates were downright rare and never on the market from both the Philly and SF mints in AU and higher. Have not checked the pops (though we all know the top end includes lots of duplicates due to crackout regrades). Should do that again sometime.

The 1866 and 1867 are tough too in all grades.
I know the San Francisco issues are often rare in BU.1 -

My 2 cent pieces are all MS64RB. I find that grade to be abundant, full of eye appeal, easy on the wallet and full of luster. An easy grade for that beautiful red/brown wood grain copper look.
Later, Paul.0 -

From the start of the Civil War. This was struck while the Dahlonega Mint was under the control of the Confederacy.
I sold this a few years ago.

Congratulations. That is an awesome coin. The coin was added to my collection in 2010 from Heritage with the following lot description: Rich violet, blue-gray, and medium-gray shadings are found on most of each side, with the lightest colors where the high points are worn. Solid eye appeal for this elusive Civil War-era Seated dollar issue. PCGS has graded 88 coins finer (8/10).
I hope you enjoy your dollar as much as I did.3 -

I really like the lighter devices and dark fields. Natural, no marks to speak of. A perfect cameo XF! Few look this nice!

Hard to find S mint in MS.Strong luster on the 1859-S $1 and nice strike. Looks a point or so higher. Very Rare in BU!

Really enjoying the red mint bloom and appreciating the fully struck details! Amazing top grade for the issue coin (and red)!

Amazing coins! Love the full head strike on the half dime! It's cool that they are the top pops!

This gold $1 and the 1861-D $5 are amongst the most popular US gold coins. I wish I had gotten into gold 20 years ago to have a shot at owning one of these! Great coin. I think the planchet flaw is cool!

That's just an amazing piece! I'm glad my eyes returned to their sockets, after seeing this! Is the superintendent your relative or is your user name a namesake of the superintendent of the Dahlonega mint?
