Lot 1245
1846-C $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-62. One of the finest graded of this rare date, only 4,808 were struck and this is well within the top half dozen known. Struck from rusted dies with small lumps noted around the date and upper obverse, similar on the reverse with rust noted in the fields. This die state is identical to the Eliasberg-Bass coin offered in 1999, which is PCGS graded MS-64. Only 2 coins grade higher than this particular example, and just 2 have been graded MS-62 by PCGS. Struck with clash marks on the reverse, above the eagle, and with generally clean fields and devices for the moderate grade assigned. An important opportunity for the specialist.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 20,000.
