AU Sharpness 1875 Quarter Eagle

1875 $2 1/2 --Mount Removed--NCS. AU Details. The 1875 has one of the lowest business strike mintages of all U.S. coins. Only 400 pieces were struck. Since the few gold collectors of the day purchased the 35 proofs, there are perhaps less than fifty business strike survivors. This example was apparently once affixed to jewelry on the obverse dentils at 5 o'clock. The repair is skilled, but the dentils in that area show subtle tooling.
