1806/4 $2.50 Capped Bust. ANACS graded AU-50. A meager 1,136 were struck of this date. This one has adjustment marks on Liberty's head, going two directions. Nicely struck on the obverse, with full stars and defining characteristics seen on the few known. On the reverse, the centers are weakly impressed, and parts of the scroll, upper shield and left wing of the eagle show localized weakness. The fields show handling marks and this coin was probably touched up a bit at some time in the past, perhaps to remove marks or cover over some of the adjustment marks. A couple of rim ticks on edge, but they are hard to see in the ANACS holder. Inspection and careful study always is a necessity on these early rare coins, and much can be learned from every example that crosses your path.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
