Lot 2349
1843-C $2.50 Liberty. Small date, crosslet 4. NGC graded AU-55. Only 2,988 minted. Pop 9; 13 in 58; 6 finer. Scarce in higher grades. Luster so copious it almost streams off the fields and devices in an explosive manner. It was the practice in the old days to vary the size of the dates, often from year to year or even within any given year. This is the extremely rare Small date (with crosslet 4) 1843-C, whose low mintage assures its high standing from now to the end of time, or at least until the end of coin collecting as we know it. A faint hairline scratch from the lower tip of the bust. The eagle, while it cannot be said to be 100% crisply defined, is yet much nicer than average for this elusive variety (PCGS # 7729) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
