1913 $2 1/2

Description

1913 PR 65 NGC. Of the 165 proofs reportedly minted, the best estimate of the number of survivors extant today is 60-75 pieces. It would be a mistake to call coins of this date "common," because they certainly are not, however, relative to other dates in this illustrious series, one is more likely to locate a 1913 before, say, a 1909 or a 1915. There are virtually no contact marks and the brighter, lighter olive-colored surfaces are exceptionally pleasing. A wonderful example for either the date or for the type. Population: 11 in PR 65, 7 finer.
