Lot 1842
1881 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58. One of the rare dates in this series. Only 691 minted, including 51 Proofs. This coin glitters and charms and is extremely bold on its obverse, with a hint of softness on the eagle's legs. Careful study is recommended as this piece has orange-peel surfaces characteristic of a Proof, and true mirrors--especially evident when held out of strong light. But we cannot see the edge in this holder. Either way, this is a rarity and of about equal value as a business strike or a spent Proof. One of 2 so graded with 10 graded higher.
