1825 $2.50 Capped Head. MS-60 Plus but scratched. Here is a beautiful coin that has been mishandled. The obverse has a long staple scratch up from date, through Liberty's face and eye, back of her head, and deepest up through star six. When will people ever learn to take the staples out of the holders before they remove the coin? One of the best examples this cataloger has seen of a pure, unadulterated staple scratch. Prooflike fields, frosted devices and beautiful in every other regard. Sharply struck by the dies and still presentable, the scratch is well hidden until examined with a glass. Examination mandatory.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
