1861 $2.50 New Reverse MS (PCGS#7794)

The Regency Auction 39

详细说明: FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION Such a beautiful SUPERB GEM coin! Overall the surfaces are clean and appear satiny. Only when using a strong glass can you see a few light frost breaks. There are NO problems. A thick satiny luster beams from all over. Both sides are a gorgeous blend of original gold/pale greenish gold colors. There are NO spots or discolorations. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are fully struck. The eye appeal is outstanding! In 1859 the mint changed the reverse hub, which created some very minor design changes. While the change was made in 1859, there were a number of Old Reverse dies that were used through 1861. The size and spacing of the arrowheads, the shape of the 1 in the fraction, and the placement of the arrow feather in relation to the talon are among the changes. Also the O in OF is rounder than the more oval O in the Old Reverse. While “common" in lower grades (PCGS CoinFacts estimates 2,000 survive in all grades), these are VERY RARE in this lofty state of preservation, with just two graded higher. PCGS 11, NGC 2, CAC 3. The last PCGS CAC piece to sell in auction brought $9,400 in the 2015 FUN auction. Prior to that, you have to go all the way back to 2012. That is a powerful statement as to how rare this date and grade really is! This coin will be a superb addition in any GEM collection! Cert. Number 25233291 PCGS # 7794
