Lot 1791
1850-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded AU-58. Mostly untoned. Some make a case that the 1850-C is the second most common C-mint Quarter Eagle from the 1850s; yet the fact is, this issue becomes all the time more scarce in the higher circulated grades and only a handful of Mint State examples are recorded. The secondary details of this uncommonly beautiful About Uncirculated example are strongly struck (including stars) while the interior main devices feature weakness, particularly the eagle's feathers and talons. The light green-gold surfaces are very lightly abraded for the assigned grade, with natural toning prevailing on both sides. 9,148 coins minted. Pop 17; 17 finer.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
