1861-S $2.50 AU50 认证号12217540, PCGS号7795

1861-S $2.50 – Civil War Collection – The $2.5 gold piece minted by the San Francisco mint is an underrated rarity with only 24,000 coins produced and an estimated survival rate of only 85 pieces. Higher graded pieces are especially difficult to find and a collector is fortunate to acquire any grade that has a problem free classification. Only 4 coins have been graded by PCGS as uncirculated.

As is the case with many quarter eagles, this date is grossly underpriced in the standard pricing guides. I have never seen a full mint state 1861-S. Specimens better than VF are genuinely rare.
