Lot 2354
1846-C $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-50. Only 4,808 minted. Lovely golden toning. Pop 9; 16 finer. The deep coppery orange patina has luster shining through it, with only a stray mark here and there revealing its use in circulation for a few years. Note the balanced design elements of the obverse. The reverse, which is normal for Charlotte coinage, has weakness along the central third of the eagle, from its neck down through both legs and feet. But it is the high PCGS standing of AU50 that separates this 1846-C from others offered in recent months (PCGS # 7741) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
