A scarce civil war date - only few were minted and many said to have been sent abroad in specie payments abroad to fund the cost of the war. My example of this coin has unfortunately been dipped and I suspect also wiped as some lines are visible. I would probably not buy this coin nowadays. Still, it is in good condition and a witness to a momentous time in american history.
Thank you all for your comments. Although cleaned, this is still an appealing coin showing no obvious/harsh cleaning lines. I may subject it to the 'years-on-the window sill' treatment to see what it looks like after a few years.
