Original $900 Underrated Date, Steely-Frosted Luster, Vibrant Cartwheels, Yellow-Gold Coloration. Though 1887 Philadelphia struck $2.5 gold mintage increased to 6,160 pieces, this date is considered underrated and just as rare as the prior low mintage issues of 1882 through 1884. This lot offers a steely-frosted surface finish with some "mirrored" like reflectivity under a bright light with embedded sparkling frost. The cartwheel action is vibrant. Light field and surface wear is evident during 10x reviewed. Please note that the reverse rim is quite degraded with a crumbled appearance from 8:00 to 12:00. The offer price appears to be quite reasonable for the date's scarcity. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert that is probably from the 2008-2009 era.
