Original $750 New September 11! Underrated Date, Lightly Mirrored, Honey Green-Gold, Well Struck. The deeper honey green-gold coloration on this 1887 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold piece is pleasing and consistent with my expectation for originality. The date is reported as underrated by David Akers with its availability consistent with early dates from the 1880s. This example exhibits lightly mirrored fields under a bright light with moderate cartwheels. Obverse surface chatter is noted during 10x review and could have resulted in a net grading situation as the wear is not considerable for the certified grade. Yet another offering from an old time collection that has returned to the market place. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
