Lot 3497
1848-D $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Tied for the highest graded by either NGC or PCGS of the date! Glowing orange luster in the fields, with some haze to note the passage of time. Liberty's face is particularly clean, and the strike is exceptional, with complete knobby claws on the eagle, and full detail on the feathers of his thighs. NGC has only graded 1 coin of this date as such, and PCGS has graded 2 this high, and of course, neither service has graded any higher. If you demand one of the very finest known of this rare date, then here is a coin to acquire for your collection. In NGC holder #568461-004.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.
