Die Trial. Honey gold with deep orange highlights. Typical weakness on eagle's breast and a few marks, but otherwise an asthetically lovely and dramatic specimen of this popular design. Just 5 specimens known (and just 2 extant gold specimens). A great opportunity to own this rarity!
Die trial of one of the most beautiful pioneer motifs. An absolutely gorgeous Gem with deep blue and green patina surrounding a golden portrait. This may be the Finest Known example of one of the most popular series. Only a half dozen specimens known.
This note is even more spectacular in person. Definitely PQ for the grade, this note is one of the best examples we have seen! Dark red seal with a nice gold under print highlight the face while the back is bright orange with little-to-no oxidation. Any large size high denomination notes are rare and this note is no exception; 57 are listed in Gengerke with 6 permanently impounded in museums. This is a gorgeous note!
A rare find from America's most famous Wild West town. Tombstone is one of the most highly collected mining camps and has remained among the toughest of all the great camps to collect.
