Lot 1264
1856-S $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. The digit 6 in the date is a bit bigger than the surrounding digits. Well struck and preserved, with few signs of handling. We note one minor scrape in the field near the second to the last star inner point, and on the reverse we note just the usual ticks in the open field areas. Sharply struck on the obverse, with each star complete and even the small curls on Liberty nicely rounded. A bit weaker on the high points of the reverse, where softness is visible on the high points. One of 4 graded as such by NGC, with 9 graded higher.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
