1856-O $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-58 Bass. Nicely struck by the dies, with good definition on the stars and rounded curls on Liberty. Minor flatness on the eagle and trouble free wear for the brief time in circulation. Nicer surfaces than usually seen on early mintmarked gold of the era. PCGS has graded just 6 this high, with only 2 graded higher, making this one of the finest to survive.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From Bowers and Merena's Harry Bass II Sale.
