Lot 1261
1855-D $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. A rarity in any grade, Dahlonega ticked off just 1,123 when the counter stopped for the year. Here is one of the finest, with nice surfaces and pleasing color on both sides. Quickly identifiable by planchet laminations and a crack on the upper obverse, not affecting the design or stars, but close. PCGS has graded 11 this high, with one in AU-58 above, and 3 more as MS-60. There are none graded higher by PCGS or NGC. One for the specialist.
Estimated Value $14,000 - 17,000.
