Here is a 1905 $2.50. You might be surprised at this one.   |

At least 65, good shot at 66. Very nice.

If it was a 1905-S we know it would be a counterfeit.
The 0 in the date looks strange heck, the complete 1905 date is weird.
I am ready for another history lesson Billjones.

Obverse is a tad out of focus but I see enough to say MS66.

It is not nice to say we might find it strange  Then we overthink the looking! I'm with the 65 camp. I don't see any hints of it being counterfeit, although a weight test would put me at a bit more ease (see the overthinking). |

I give up...Bills comment is making me crazy. first I thought Proof? then I did some research on that and it does not seem to match any proofs. then I thought counterfeit? hmmm looks original. so I'm just going with MS66.  here we go again! |

MS67 After this grade if I miss, Bill may recommend me for that ANA grading class. |

Not much wrong here. A couple of light marks on the obverse in front of the face and behind the head and a hit on the reverse in the D of 2 1/2 D.
Going to guess higher end of the guesses with a 66. If wrong, I'd guess I am low and it was 67.

MS65.
Marks on the obverse on cheek and in front and back of the head in the field, and there is something going on on the reverse just above eagles head and possibly below left wing.
