Lot 3208
1849-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. A decent strike for this often poorly exucated issue. Struck in natural light greenish color gold and untoned with luster around the main devices. Only 10,200 minted. One light hairline from the top of the head to star 8; a small mark below the chin. Of this issue, it seems that just about all saw circulation, most becoming extensively abraded in the process. The exact provenance of the current piece is unidentified, but its very special AU quality indicates that it was preserved with care, unlike the majority of its sisters. Pop 14; 4 in 60, 2 in 61 (PCGS # 7753) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
