Lot 3505
1854-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. A rare coin in mint state with just a dozen or so known that qualify at the lower end of the mint state curve. This particular one boasts strong stars while the centers show minor weakness below Liberty's ear and around the shield on the eagle. We note a tiny die crack from the rim up into the fraction bar. NGC has graded only 4 this high, with 6 graded higher, all MS-62. Similar at PCGS where they have graded one coin as MS-61, and one as MS-62, and we note that neither service has graded an example as MS-63 or higher of this scarce date.
Estimated Value $11,000 - 13,000.
