Lot 1253
1850-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60. As the Nineteenth century crossed its midpoint, the Charlotte Mint coined 9,148 of these. The economy was in good shape at that time, and most entered circulation and worked hard. A few were saved for various reasons, and not spent repeatedly. Here is such a coin, the surfaces have minor handling ticks and we note trivial roughness on the upper devices, perhaps from when the planchet was rolled or due to die rust and wear. NGC has graded 3 as such, with 6 more graded as MS-61, and a single coin as MS-63 above. Another rare and desirable coin for the specialist.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 13,000.
