Lot 2130
1842-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-50. Beaming yellow gold. Two tiny marks between the eagle's head and second S in STATES. A nicely preserved medium golden color specimen with faint orange zephyr-like wisps of toning and luster on both sides. Nicely struck for the date, an early D-mint rarity, certainly much finer than the few seen for sale in recent decades. This date, when available, tends to be in the Very Fine or Extremely Fine category. As we've pointed out, the strike is above average. It may be considered as a standard by which to compare other AU50 1842-D examples when (and if) they present themselves. Again, a key opportunity that the gold specialist should not neglect. Pop 3; 23 finer. (PCGS # 7725) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
