Only silver three cent piece minted in New Orleans. This denomination circulated widely when other small silver coinage was being melted and exported.

With virtually no silver or gold coins circulating the mint chose to strike 5-cent nickel pieces similar to their 3-cent cousins. Difficulty with the hardness of the metal caused many specimens show cracked dies, clash marks, and other mint errors. This coin Is a proof DDO, a very unusual proof with all 500 coins from one die.

Mintage 20,583. Classic Half Eagle. Gold fever hit the country in the late 1820's as the yellow metal was discovered in Georgia and North Carolina.

The loss of California gold with the sinking of the S.S. Central America in part caused the panic of '57. Gold dust, ingots, and freshly minted coins from the goldfields of California were shipped for a voyage around Cape Horn to banks on the East coast. The S.S Central America went down in a storm after passengers and crew were rescued. The gold, however, went down with the ship into the Atlantic. This coin was salvaged from crates of newly minted coins not affected by seawater. Many of the specimens look today as if they were minted yesterday. A mint-made die line through the lower left shield border lends the Spiked Shield nickname. Well struck and lustrous with a splendid reverse and a carefully preserved obverse. This lot is accompanied by Certificate of Authenticity S.S.C.A. #2153, signed by Tommy Thompson of the Columbus-America Discovery Group. Also included is the presentation box and faux book of issue, the latter inscribed to the Jayne Family.(#70000) (Registry values: P2)

After describing current U. S. coinage being of "atrocious hideousness", Theodore Roosevelt commissioned Augustus St. Gaudens to redesign all U.S. coinage. St. Gaudens before succumbing to cancer, sculpted this double-eagle masterpiece considered by many, the acme of American coinage. What else is there to say.
