1871 $2.50 AU55 Certification #25632420, PCGS #7813

CoinFacts Details

Nice color and plenty of luster. Small marks and scratches on both sides, more so on the obverse. A little crud in some elements.

David Akers (1975/88)

Obviously very scarce, although not quite as rare as the 1868 or 1870. Deceptive first strikes exist and have, on occasion, been sold as proofs.
