FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION How this tiny jewel survived in such a perfect condition for over 156 years is a wonder. To be in such a lavish condition, it clearly was carefully stored since the day it left the mint! Needless to say this beauty is among the FINEST KNOWN examples! Flawless surfaces are a picky collector’s delight to behold. Even using a strong glass you find no flaws (only strong Mint made die clashing). The luster is decent and there are clear traces of semi-prooflike mirrors (you do not have to imagine them). Both sides have a light to moderate champagne color. Every detail stands out with a pinpoint sharp strike. The eye appeal is great! A small mintage of trimes fell off the coining presses totalling only 12,000 pieces. As a type coin, these are quite challenging in such a lofty state of preservation, and that a Civil War year survives is quite a treat indeed! Command of all Union forces was placed under General Ulysses S. Grant in 1864, and when he was brought to the Virginia front, General Sherman took command of the western theater in Tennessee. Taking command of the Army of the Potomac, Grant brought a more aggressive, total war approach. Knowing that he had the numerical superiority to Lee’s forces, Grant kept pushing through the Wilderness. The campaign through the summer and fall pushed Lee’s forces back, and caused very serious casualties on both sides, though the Union Army was able to maintain a much stronger force. PCGS 6, NGC 7, CAC 4. The last one to sell in auction brought a healthy $31,200 in August 2018. If you seek an exceptional odd denomenation from the Civil War era, look no further. This coin is a collectors dream! Good luck! Cert. Number 6837027 PCGS # 3684
