Description

Low-Mintage 1873-S Two and a Half, MS61

1873-S $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. This low-mintage postbellum S-mint issue was produced to the extent of only 27,000 coins, and today Mint State examples are seldom obtainable. This is a lustrous orange-gold piece with a few ticks that keep it from a higher grade, but its eye appeal is considerable. The strike is adequate, and the reverse is relatively abrasion-free. Census: 13 in 61, 14 finer (4/10).(Registry values: P2)
