Lot 2372
1856-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Struck on a rough planchet as usual. Pop 12; 5 in 60, 4 in 61, 1 in 63. Only 7,913 minted. An attractive light yellowish golden piece, lightly abraded and with a relatively soft strike that forms the reputation of the Charlotte Mint. No mint-made defects are present; the rims are also choice. The luster is slightly diminished in the exposed fields, as is expected of the About Uncirculated 58 grade. Just 7,913 pieces were minted, very few among which have survived this choice (PCGS # 7778) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
