1862-S $2 1/2 --Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc. Details. This crisply struck yellow-gold low mintage quarter eagle has no indication of wear, but the luster has been diminished by a wipe which has left the piece slightly bright. One gray spot is noted near the large 2 in the fraction. Just 8,000 pieces were coined of this Civil War issue. Only five pieces have been certified as Mint State by NGC and PCGS combined (9/09). The 21 pieces listed as NGC AU58 undoubtedly include many resubmissions.(Registry values: P2)
