1877 $2.50. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, with the fantastic eye appeal normally reserved for Gem. This exceptional coin is a very early strike possessing amazing cameo prooflike beauty seldom encountered in Gold coins of this busy decade. A meticulous strike results in magnificent detail for this desirable example of the 1,632 business strikes produced by the Philadelphia Mint. Added to this basic rarity is the testimony of the Dannreuther-Garrett auction record that shows only 27 appearances of this date, 24 of which were in lower grade!
