Description

Bold VF30 1875 Two and a Half
Just 400 Pieces Coined

1875 $2 1/2 VF30 PCGS. Mintages of gold coins at Philadelphia reached a nadir in 1875. The eagle (mintage 100 pieces) and half eagle (mintage 200 pieces) are legendary rarities. The quarter eagle and gold dollar each have a production of just 400 pieces but have not captured numismatic attention commensurate with their rarity. The present quarter eagle is sharper than expected for the VF30 level and displays noticeable glimpses of mint luster. The orange and green-gold surfaces exhibit scattered small abrasions. Encapsulated in an old green label holder.(Registry values: P2)
