Description

1857 Two and a Half, MS64
Lower Mintage, Conditionally Rare

1857 $2 1/2 MS64 PCGS. CAC. While the 1851 to 1853 Philadelphia issues had mintages well above 1 million pieces, by 1857 Seated silver was circulating, and the quarter eagle denomination was less needed in commerce. The 1857 two and a half production was only 214,130 pieces. A few hundred coins remain in Mint State, but typically in MS61 to MS63 grades. The present well-preserved orange-gold near-Gem has good luster, a sharp strike, and pleasing surfaces. Population: 26 in 64 (4 in 64+), 7 finer. CAC: 10 in 64, 5 finer (8/22).
