<B>1875 $2 1/2 AU58 <img src="/images/star.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="" border="0"> NGC.</B></I> This well struck example is moderately prooflike, and this is undoubtedly the reason it received a Star designation from NGC. Like most 1875 Philadelphia Mint gold denominations, the quarter eagle had an extremely low mintage. Only 400 business strikes and 20 proofs were struck. While the proofs were carefully preserved by the handful of advanced gold collectors of the day, business strikes were ignored by contemporary numismatists. Most survivors are XF to AU, and NGC has graded none above MS60. Census: 12 in 58, 2 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
