No doubt saved by a concerned citizen of the North during the Civil War. As the war wasn’t going so well for the Northern Armies and its supporters, many people hoarded any and all coinage that came their way. In fact it wasn’t for at least another decade before gold and silver started to circulate with any regularity.
A blazing example with outstanding eye appeal that sits near the top of the condition census. A true survivor, this piece made it unscathed through not only the civil war, but the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam War, First Gulf War, and the Second Gulf War as well.
