Lot 1795
1851-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Untoned. Several planchet streaks through the portrait. Strikingly brilliant throughout with no heavy abrasions present to sidetrack your enjoyment of the smooth details and bold relief. The rims, too, are free of problems. In judging the range of Charlotte and Dahlonega Mint coins, a typical grade is apt to be Very Fine or Extremely Fine. And often these are cleaned. When truly great assemblages of "C" and "D" mint gold are formed, however, then About Uncirculated pieces come into play, plus the very rare Mint State like the present 1851-C offering. Only 14,923 coins minted. Pop 8; 2 finer in 62.
Estimated Value $11,000 - 13,000.
