Lot 1800
1854-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-62. Some mint luster visable. Untoned. Winter 15-I. One of the more appealing of several Mint State '54-C Quarter Eagles that we have sold over the past few years, being far less abraded than the typical high grade survivor. A short scratch that comes off the right foot of the final A in AMERICA should serve as an adequate pedigree marker, and there are patchy areas of muted luster in the open fields. While the strike is typically soft, especially on the reverse, the honey-gold surfaces reveal all major design elements. One of only 7,295 pieces produced and a solid Condition Census representative, no examples being certified higher by either major service. Pop 7; none finer.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
Ex: Ashland City.
