1857-D $2 1/2

Description

1857-D AU 50. Lightly cleaned, but with lots of original surfaces and luster still remaining. This example is well struck, with the only weakness occurring on some of the denticles. With a mintage of only 2,364 pieces, this date is a true rarity in the series, and one that is eagerly sought after by Southern gold specialists. This seems to be an average grade for the issue, based on the reports issued by the grading services.
