Choice $7000 Very Scarce Date, Rich Honey-Gold, Impressive Strike. GFRC is quite pleased to be offering not one but two 1870 $2.5 gold pieces with both certified at the MS61 level and only four finer. This example also presents partially mirrored fields on the obverse while the reverse falls into the steely-frosted realm. An unquestionably original example with obverse field chatter being noted and consistent with the certified grade. The strike is essentially complete with only a touch of weakness at the eagle's left leg feathers and wing tip. The obverse strike is hammered with circular lathe lines seen throughout the center motif. Mintage is only 4,520 with eight certified at the offered grade. How cool is it that GFRC is offering 25% of the PCGS holdered examples at one time on the price list. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
