1861 1C – Civil War Collection – The 1861 Indian Cent was only produced at the Philadelphia Mint with 10,100,000 minted. Even though the date is the lowest mintage of the 1860-1864 copper-nickel Indian cents, it is still in plentiful supply for collectors in almost all circulated grades and has an estimated survival rate of over 5,000 coins. As would be expected, the coin becomes more scarce and costly as the uncirculated grades increase. Shown here is an 1861 Indian Cent graded MS64 by PCGS that has an excellent strike for the grade as supported by the CAC designation.

1861 3CS – Civil War Collection – In 1861, there were 497,000 “Three Cent Silver” piece minted in Philadelphia. No other US Mint produced 3CS pieces that year. The survival rate has been estimated at 7,500 pieces with 1,000 being uncirculated and approximately 400 graded MS65 or higher. With amble minting, the collector can find reasonably priced coins available in the market although, as expected, the price increases on condition as well as eye appearance as many of the coins are not particularly attractive. The 1861 3CS coin shown here has remarkable eye appeal and would request a premium over a traditional MS63 coin.

1861 H10C - Civil War Collection – Shown here is an 1861 Half Dime produced at the Philadelphia Mint and graded as MS64 by PCGS. The coin has excellent eye appearance and only slight toning around the edges. The Philadelphia Mint produced 3,361,000 half dimes in 1861 and the PCGS survival estimate is 3,000 coins. Of those, 607 have been authenticated/graded by PCGS with only 369 graded as uncirculated (April 4, 2016).

1861-S 10C - Civil War Collection –San Francisco minted coins in the 1861 era are rare because of the scarcity of coin collectors on the west coast. This especially affects the availability of coins in higher grades. For example, the 1861-S dime mintage population of 172,500 coins appears to be an adequate level to supply collectors with this type/category of coin; however, the estimated survival rate is a meager 250 coins (PCGS April 10, 2016). To further support the rarity of the 1861-S dime, PCGS has graded 73 coins and NGC a mere 25 coins. (Source: PCGS & NGC April 10, 2016). PCGS has only graded 9 coins higher than AU55. This 1861-S dime reflects excellent eye appeal and has minimal to no toning for the mint/era coin. It is well deserving of the AU55 grade given by PCGS.

1861 25C - Civil War Collection –There were 4,853,600 quarters minted at the Philadelphia Mint in 1861 with an estimate of over 5,000 surviving for collectors (PCGS July 22, 2016). It is also estimated that over 600 coins survived in uncirculated condition making it one of the more plentiful Civil War coins available in almost any grade. This 1861 Quarter reflects excellent eye appeal and has minimal to no toning or distracting marks.

1861-S 50C – Civil War Collection – The San Francisco Mint produced a hefty 939,500 Half dollars in 1861 and PCGS estimates 550 remaining for collectors. Like other San Francisco minted coins of that era, high quality/graded coins are elusive with only 60 estimated to be in uncirculated condition (PCGS CoinFacts: April 17, 2016). PCGS has graded 170 coins and 35 graded as uncirculated while NGC has graded 90 coins and 31 graded uncirculated (Source: PCGS & NGC April 11, 2016). Remember those numbers could include some double counts of coins resubmitted hoping for a higher grade or sent as crossovers to the opposite grading agency.

1861 S$1 - Civil War Collection – Two types of dollar coins were minted in 1861; one was made of gold and is designated in numismatic terms as G$1 and the other of silver and known as the S$1. The silver dollar was only produced at the Philadelphia Mint. While there was a low mintage of 1861 silver dollars at the Philadelphia Mint of only 77,500 coins; PCGS estimates 1,100 pieces have survived for collectors. Of the survivors, many have some kind of “detail” damage eliminating them from grading (only authenticating) and are not favorably looked upon by the astute collector. Only 74 coins received a true grade by NGC and 153 received hard grading by PCGS. Shown here is an 1861 Seated dollar graded as AU58 by PCGS. This coin has pleasing detail and appearance relative to many of the pieces from that era.
