Gem $2500 Gem Original Offering, Yellow Gold, Partially Mirrored Fields, CAC approved. The 1880 $2.5 gold issue is yet another lower mintage later date that continues to be underrated in the current marketplace. With a mintage of 2,960, this date is scarce in all grades. I was compelled to reward this exceptional example with a GFRC-Gem quality tating. Maybe I am enchanted by the mirrored fields that exhibit sharp reflectance under a bright light. Also compelling is the complete strike and unabraded surfaces with light rub consistent with the certified grade. Coloration falls into the honey yellow-gold realm. The CAC census currently stands at 25 stickered with a CDN price guide number being quoted as $2,250. There is a 50% pricing premium at MS62. Housed in NGC 25 (2008) holder with CAC approval.
