New Orleans $2.50 Gold NEWP
I’ve never owned a New Orleans gold piece before and I’ve wanted an example for a while now. I figured given their reasonable prices compared to Charlotte or Dahlonega that I’d wait for, at very least, an AU example.
This nice example came along at just the right time. 
What do you guys think?
(It’s hard to photograph this one)
I love the large mint mark!

Nice clean example. I'd agree with the grade from what I can see. I'd love to own it.

I like it!
I actively collect, buy and sell US minted Philippine coins from 1903-1945. I am interested in anything during this period, Albums, Proof sets, collections, original rolls and bags, Cullion Leper colony coins etc.
Also a big fan of liberty seated coins.2 -

I'm happy to have found it.

I like it a lot. You are on a roll. Nice new purchases. Congratulations!
I think a lot of the "O" mints, especially $2 1/2 an $5 libs are way underrated. Get um while you can.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide

Nice $2.50 Asheland.
None of the "O" mint $2.50's are real stoppers. Its a fun sub-set of a large series.

It's in the SD box now and no Trueview because it's slabbed by the "other guys". Maybe next time I go to the bank I will grab it.
