- The experts at <em>PCGS CoinFacts</em> estimate a surviving population of only 80 examples in all grades from the mintage of 18,859 coins for the 1840 two-and-a-half. With probably no more than a couple dozen Mint State examples extant, this premium Choice AU represents a fleeting opportunity for the astute gold specialist. It is a vivid honey-gold coin with plenty of mint frost remaining.
