Lot 1200
1881 $2.50 Liberty. AU-50. Check the mintage on this date, only 640 were coined for circulation. This one has prooflike fields and was certainly struck by the same dies that were used to strike the few proof examples of 1881. A glass will note some minor scuffs on Liberty's face, but they blend well with the usual circulation marks. Perhaps 40 are known in all grades, this one of the better ones that entered circulation.
Many collectors work on date sets of these interesting pieces. Soon they learn that it is very important to buy the rare ones whenever they are offered. You can always buy the common dates, they are common today and will be common tomorrow, but the rare dates are always rare and seldom offered. A worthy coin for the specialist to own.
