United States. 117th United States Colored Troops. Undated (1861-1865) C.H. Smith. 5 Cents. Schenkman US-117-5B (NL-W5B), W-CI-140-005b. Rarity-9. Brass. Plain Edge. AU-50 (NGC). 23 mm. With blushes of reddish-russet and steel-olive patina to a base of deep brassy-gold color. All denominations from this sutler are rare and, indeed, this is our first offering for a C.H.
