Lot 3504
1854 $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-65. The luster is especially bright on this early quarter eagle, and we note faint contact marks mostly in the fields. Liberty's face is clean and fresh, and the strike is absolutely sharp. Both the obverse and reverse show strong clash marks, with virtually all of Liberty's head outlined on the reverse, and significant portions of the eagle are seen on the obverse in the fields. NGC has graded 4 this high, with just one coin graded higher, and PCGS has graded 4 this high, with none higher. An important coin for the specialist.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
