1838 $2.50 Classic Head

Pricing & History
1838 $2.50 Classic Head. Sharpness of MS-63. Well struck and nice except for old time pin scratch on the reverse left of eagle. The surfaces are sleek and glowing with a healthy show of gold color. There is no toning. What one sees usually on this Type, especially the 1834-dated pieces, is an unconvincing impression on Liberty`s hair left by the recoil of the dies; greatly to our pleasure and the bidders` profit, on the other hand, that is not the case here. This coin is sharp, very sharp, in fact. A choice lustrous coin (PCGS # 7696).
