Lot 1174
1835 $2.50 Classic Head. MS-60. Light hairlines and other field abrasions are noted. The so-called "tall head" variety. Light yellow gold in color and with reflective luster. An impressive example of this early type coin and one that provides a lot of value in today's collector market. Well struck at the periphery, but slightly weak at the centers. One tick mark above the first T of STATES, and this is the common variety with AM well apart on the reverse.
From the recent Harry Bass, Jr. Sale by Bowers and Merena, October 1999, lot 282, previously from Lester Merkin's Sale, June 1972, lot 363.
