Description

1879-S $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. The 1879-S had a relatively low mintage of 43,500 pieces and the vast majority of that number saw heavy circulation. Mint State examples are very scarce, and it is virtually impossible to locate anything better than the present coin. Splendid luster radiates beneath the yellow-gold patina that covers both sides. Scattered abrasions define the grade, but all are minor. Census: 4 in 61, 7 finer (6/09).
