Lot 3496
1848-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Tied for the finest graded of the date by both NGC and PCGS, with a combined population of 5 coins as MS-62. Bright yellow gold with reflective surfaces on both sides. As to the strike, it is sharp for the date, with only a touch of weakness on the central curls of Liberty and the eagle's head and neck. Minor handling marks from a higher grade, but apparently this is as nice as this date comes, so don't wait for a better one. Always popular for the low mintage (16,788) and the Charlotte Mintmark. Certain to be a highlight in an advanced collection.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000.
