Original $3000 Low Mintage Issue, Partially Mirrored, Notable Bright Light Reflectance. The release of better date $2.5 gold continues with this 1872 Philadelphia lot that exhibits light wear in the fields and on the motifs. Yet another low mintage issue with only 3,000 struck during the year that Ulysses S. Grant defeated Horace Greeley and Susan B. Anthony voted for the first time on behalf of American women. This example exhibits partially mirrored fields with a notable amount of pleasing reflectance under a bright light. The overall strike is close to complete with only the left eagle leg lacking full definition. There are several reverse contact marks on the E in UNITED and between ES in STATES that requires mention. Housed in NGC 17 (2004-2008) holder.
