Lot 1783
1848-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Untoned and well struck. This conditionally rare 1848-C contribution to the sale is brilliant with rich frosty gold surfaces. Impressive too is the strike, which we find is free of censure, being sharp in all areas. A great deal of discussion also surrounds a coin's strike, particularly the often uneven detail seen on C and D mint gold. This has excellent detail with no sign of weakness to the centers, plus excellent clarity in the stars and outer areas of the design. A few light curlicue hairlines in the reverse field above the eagle. Only 16,788 minted. Pop 7; 5 in 62.
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
