Lot 1276
1863-S $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Mint luster near the stars and well struck by the dies. We note a minor tick mark or two on Liberty's cheek, but it blends in nicely with the surrounding surfaces. Note the strong curls on Liberty's head, and also sharp on the reverse eagle, with just a few signs of weakness on the thigh. As a date, this is very difficult to obtain better than this, in fact NGC reports they have graded 8 this high, with just 4 graded higher. PCGS is similar, they have graded 6 as AU-58, and 2 higher. Keep that thought when calculating a bid.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000.
