1875 Quarter Eagle, AU55
Low-Mintage Rarity
400 Coins Struck

1875 $2 1/2 AU55 PCGS. The year 1875 is one of the most challenging dates in the federal series for gold coinage. Famously, only 100 eagles and 200 half eagles were struck, plus 400 gold dollars and 400 quarter eagles. Only the double eagle was produced in any significant quantity, and no three dollar gold pieces were struck at all for circulation. The 1875 two and a half dollar is a key date in all grades. PCGS estimates just 40 to 50 pieces known. This Choice AU example is blatantly prooflike and sharply struck with orange-gold color. Small marks and a touch of high-point rub are noted. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 19 in 55 (1 in 55+), 12 finer (11/20).(Registry values: P2)
