Gem $2100 Deeply Frosted Radiance, Honey Yellow-Gold, Gem Original, CAC Approved. The Liberty $2.5 gold series is replete with low mintage dates that would bring huge premiums if found in high demand smaller sliver denominations. This 1888 Philadelphia issue is an example with only 2,960 struck. The date is naturally scarce overall due to mintage though, in MInt State, the issue is available. Survivors with completely unmolested surfaces are always in demand. Offering here is a GFRC-Gem rated example with hammered strike and with deeply impressed device details. Under a bright light, the frosted radiance is brilliant and intense. Coloration falls into a honey yellow-gold spectrum. The CDN CAC price guide is $2,250 as reference. Housed in a new NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
