Lot 1248
1848 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded MS-63. This is an overlooked coin because of the 1848 "CAL." issue. Nevertheless, this is one of the 3 finest graded by PCGS, with none graded higher! Choice original luster in the fields and well struck by the dies, with sharp stars around Liberty, and even her tiny curls are bold. Similar on the reverse, with fine details on the eagle and few signs of weakness anywhere to be found. A condition rarity that is seldom found in grades even approaching this.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000.
