Description

1855 $2 1/2 MS63 NGC. Philadelphia Mint production of quarter eagles reached record levels between 1851 and 1853, since gold coins were needed in circulation to replace hoarded silver. Mintages of the denomination had dropped considerably by 1855, and Select Uncirculated examples are very scarce. This example is sharply struck and boasts dazzling peripheral luster. The reverse has a few tiny rim nicks, and the fields display expected grazes. Census: 19 in 63, 25 finer (3/10).(Registry values: P2)
