Lot 1808
1856-C $2.50 Liberty. NGC graded MS-61. Well struck and untoned. Creamy luster and light yellow to greenish gold color and free from the usual tiny alloy spots in the surface. A blunt impression was left by the recoil of the dies that struck this 1856-C, leaving in their wake some granularity in LIBERTY and the hair at the back of the head. The eagle is very acceptable, and overall, given the full distribution of luster over both surfaces, a high-end example of a scarce issue. 7,913 coins minted. Pop 4; 3 finer; 1 in 62; 1 in 63; 1 in 64.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
