1862-S $2.50 XF40 认证号26138052, PCGS号7798

David Akers (1975/88)

Very rare in all grades and extremely underrated. This date is seldom available in any condition and its 24 appearances in 226 auctions places it tenth in the entire series according to rarity by number of appearances. I have seen only two mint state examples and a handful of others above EF. The remainder of the relatively few that I have seen over the years have been well worn. Without a doubt, the 1862-S is one of the major "sleepers" in the entire quarter eagle series, and any specimen grading EF or better should be considered highly desirable.
