Collectibility:
The Zacatecas 2½ Pesos is one of the key branch mint issues in the Mexican gold series, and the 1873-Zs H is especially desirable due to its remarkably low 1,300-piece mintage. Many surviving examples saw extensive circulation, melting, or export, making high-grade survivors difficult to locate.
This UNC Details example retains exceptional sharpness, bold original strike characteristics, and strong visual appeal. Despite the cleaning designation, its scarcity and near-Mint State preservation make it an outstanding opportunity for collectors of Mexican gold, branch mint rarities, and low-mintage 19th-century coinage.
