Lot 3490
1842 $2.50 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55 Pittman. One of the very finest known of this extremely scarce date, mintage was a paltry 2,823 with few that survived. To locate a high grade coin can take years and years. This particular example boasts fully struck devices and a satiny hazy appearance on both sides. The fields and surfaces show minimal handling marks, and this is a coin most collectors will be proud to own. PCGS has graded only 2 as such, with a single coin higher of the date, which will give the buyers an idea of how truly rare this date is.
Estimated Value $9,000-UP.
From David Akers sale of the John J. Pittman collection.
