Description

1855 Two and a Half, MS64
Difficult in Nice Mint State

1855 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. The advent of debased Seated coinage in 1853 led to much lower mintages of quarter eagles at Philadelphia. The 1855 mintage was 235,480 pieces, about one-sixth the production of the 1853 two and a half. A majority of survivors are in circulated grades, and at the MS64 level, the issue is an important rarity. This lustrous orange-gold example displays minor blending of impression on the lower portion of the eagle. Marks are minimal, and the value provided is undeniable. Population: 18 in 64 (3 in 64+), 8 finer (8/22).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25J4, PCGS# 7774, Greysheet# 8277)
