1881 XF 40. The first of what Akers calls a "run of seven ultra low mintage issues from the Philadelphia Mint." This piece is a high end XF, but down-graded because of some light rim dings on either side. No mint state examples have been graded so far (4/94) by either NGC or PCGS, indicating the rarity of this date in mint state. Akers speculates that only 20-25 pieces are still in existence, along with 15-18 proofs. This pleasing example is sure to excite specialists in this series.
