1862/1 $2 1/2

Description

PCGS 1862/1 AU 50. More than thirty years after this overdate was publicized by Aubrey Bebee, the discovery process is still continuing. A couple of coins turn up every year, but high grade pieces such as this remain rare. At the AU 50 level this coin is at the lower end of the condition census for the issue with the finest coins certified being a pair of PCGS and NGC MS 61s. The underdigit on this piece is plain to see with a magnifier and one can tell there is "something" there with the unaided eye. Well struck, there is a rich orange-gold color in the fields, and only minor abrasions are scattered about which are consistent with the grade.
